2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · WR51 BEV

The 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport is currently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 30 June 2025 at 79,715 miles with no defects recorded. Earlier tests in 2022 and 2021 flagged brake discs and tyres, but subsequent inspections showed those issues resolved, indicating a stabilising maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating one. Mileage accumulation has been steady. From 38,779 miles in April 2021 to 47,018 miles in April 2022 the vehicle logged 8,239 miles in one year, then 2,793 miles in the next three months, followed by 8,200 miles by June 2023, 11,361 miles by June 2024, and 10,343 miles by June 2025. These figures average around 9,000–10,000 miles per year, with no abrupt spikes or long gaps between tests, suggesting routine use and regular checks. A prospective buyer should examine the braking system closely. The record shows front brake pads wearing thin in June 2023 and front and rear discs exhibiting pitting or scoring in April 2022, though these were not deemed severely weakened. Tyre wear is a recurring theme: both rear tyres were close to the legal limit in 2023, and rear inner tyres were similarly worn in 2022. Inspect the tread depth, sidewall integrity, and any uneven wear that could indicate suspension or alignment issues. Verify that the wiper blades are functional, as a failure was noted in April 2021. Checking the suspension bushings, coil springs, and steering linkages for corrosion or softening will help confirm that the vehicle’s handling remains reliable. Finally, review the vehicle for structural rust, especially along the chassis and wheel arches, and confirm that the exhaust system shows no leaks or excessive corrosion. While the MOT history does not report major engine or transmission faults, a thorough visual and functional check of these components will provide confidence that the car has been maintained consistently and remains safe for continued use.
