2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · SK67 ADO

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a recent decline in maintenance standards following a period of stability. While the car passed its tests between 2021 and 2025 without recorded defects, the most recent MOT on 17 February 2026 at 73,999 miles flagged several issues regarding consumable wear. The tester identified near-side front and off-side front tyres worn close to the legal limit, alongside near-side front tyre perishing. The record also noted scored and corroded front brake discs. This shift from a clean history to multiple advisories suggests a lapse in routine preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,222 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase from 31,040 miles in September 2020 to 73,999 miles in February 2026. A notable period of lower usage occurred between August 2023 and January 2024, where mileage only increased by 92 miles, though the vehicle remained in service. The current mileage is typical for a 2017 model and does not indicate excessive heavy-duty use or long-term abandonment. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The history reveals a recurring pattern of brake component degradation, specifically with discs being flagged as pitted or scored in both September 2020 and February 2026. The 2020 failure was particularly severe, involving worn discs, thin pads, and insufficient tread depth across multiple tyres. Given the recent advisories for perishing rubber and worn edges, the buyer must check for uneven tyre wear which could indicate underlying suspension or alignment issues. Beyond the consumables, the mechanical integrity of the braking components requires verification. The presence of corroded discs alongside worn tyres suggests that the vehicle may have sat idle for periods or has been driven with minimal attention to scheduled servicing. Inspecting the brake calipers for binding and checking the condition of the suspension bushes would be prudent to ensure the recent advisory trends do not mask more significant mechanical wear.
