2015 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT2.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a clean pass on 20 February 2026 at 137,989 miles. This most recent result suggests a period of stability, as the tester recorded no defects. However, the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of brake-related issues over the last three years. The February 2025 test initially failed due to a binding offside rear brake and thin pads, which necessitated repairs to address a pitted and discoloured brake disc. While the vehicle passed the subsequent retest, the history indicates that the braking system requires consistent monitoring. The mileage accumulation is high for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,544 miles per year. The records show steady, heavy usage rather than long periods of inactivity. Between January 2022 and February 2023, the mileage increased by nearly 20,000 miles, and the jump from 75,963 miles in February 2021 to 98,562 miles in January 2022 confirms a consistent driving pattern. This high annual mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on suspension components, drivetrain elements, and consumables such as tyres and brake assemblies. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system and the suspension. The MOT history highlights a persistent issue with the offside rear brake, which has been flagged for binding, thin pads, and disc scoring in multiple recent tests. The February 2023 test also identified a worn nearside rear lower suspension arm bush. Given the high mileage, it is prudent to inspect all suspension bushes, coil springs, and control arms for signs of play or degradation. The history also shows intermittent issues with consumables, such as the windscreen wiper failure in January 2022 and various tyre tread depth advisories. While these are minor maintenance items, they suggest that some basic upkeep may have been reactive rather than proactive. A thorough check of the brake discs and calipers across the entire vehicle is recommended to ensure the recent pass reflects a comprehensive repair rather than a temporary fix.
