2017 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT2.0L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-31 at 52,549 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, prior tests reveal inconsistencies: a failure on 2024-10-01 at 45,611 miles and another on 2023-09-22 at 38,382 miles, both without recorded defects. These failures suggest potential intermittent issues that may have been resolved, but the lack of specific defect details limits definitive conclusions. The trend shows a shift from failure to pass, though the absence of recorded faults in the latest test implies the vehicle is currently compliant. The recorded mileage of 52,549 miles over nine years equates to approximately 5,839 miles annually, significantly lower than average. This pattern suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to component stiffness or corrosion. Notable gaps exist between tests: from 2023-09-22 to 2024-10-01, a 13-month interval saw mileage rise from 38,382 to 45,611 miles, followed by a 14-month gap to 2025-12-31. Such intervals may indicate irregular maintenance or storage, increasing the risk of undetected wear in systems like the suspension or braking components. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask gradual deterioration. Check brake discs for uneven wear and calipers for binding, as these issues may not trigger MOT failures. Examine the underbody for corrosion, particularly in areas prone to moisture exposure. The exhaust system should also be assessed for leaks or damage, as emissions-related faults could arise without visible defects. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the low mileage and intermittent failures warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity.
