2017 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT2.0L Diesel

The 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport has maintained a clean MOT history across four consecutive tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 30 June 2025—just over a year ago—confirmed full compliance with DVSA standards at 125,528 miles. This suggests the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures or recurring issues during the past 12 months, though the absence of advisories does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The consistency of passes indicates no obvious pattern of neglect, but the high mileage demands thorough scrutiny of high-wear components. The recorded mileage of 125,528 miles over nine years equates to an average of approximately 13,948 miles annually, which is elevated for a vehicle of this age. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where the odometer increased by 20,371 miles in a single year. This suggests either intensive use or a period of active ownership. The intervals between tests remain regular, with each MOT conducted within the required 12-month window, though the lack of advisories or defects does not account for potential irregular maintenance outside the MOT scope. Given the high mileage, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, for signs of fatigue or excessive play. The brake system warrants close examination, including disc thickness, caliper binding, and rotor warpage, as repeated high mileage accelerates wear. Structural integrity should be assessed for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, where rust can compromise safety. While the MOT record shows no failures, these components are critical and often overlooked until significant deterioration occurs. Tyre condition, including tread depth and lateral wear patterns, should also be verified, as the absence of MOT defects does not guarantee they have been consistently replaced.
