2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · TW11 BOY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in February 2024 at 92,415 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional position lamp and a nearside rear inner tyre reaching the legal limit. While the vehicle passed immediately after these corrections, the presence of these avoidable faults suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they threaten the MOT certificate status. The mileage pattern shows a significant acceleration in usage over time. Averaging 10,268 miles per year is standard for a nine-year-old Discovery, but there is a notable gap in data between the January 2023 test at 50,398 miles and the February 2024 test at 92,415 miles. The vehicle covered over 42,000 miles in just over thirteen months. This rapid accumulation places heavy stress on the vehicle's complex suspension system and drivetrain components compared to the much lower usage seen in its early years. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems, as the record flagged thin rear brake pads at 50,398 miles and uneven tyre wear at 92,415 miles. The uneven tyre wear specifically points to potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require a professional diagnostic. Given the high-mileage surge in the last year, checking for oil leaks and the structural integrity of the underbody is essential, as these are common failure points for this model when subjected to consistent heavy use.
