2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · Y123 ADW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of minor wear-related failures. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2022 at 94,398 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns were addressed. However, because the last test took place over four years ago, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle cannot be verified, and a fresh inspection is mandatory to identify any degradation that has occurred during this long stationary interval. The recorded mileage of 94,398 miles over ten years reflects an average usage of approximately 9,440 miles per annum, which aligns with typical driving patterns for a modern SUV. There is a significant gap in data between the July 2019 test at 46,243 miles and the December 2020 test at 70,265 miles, where the vehicle covered over 24,000 miles in just seventeen months. This period of higher activity likely correlates with the wear of the brake components and tyres noted in the subsequent test records. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension, as history shows recurring issues. The December 2020 failure for thin rear brake pads followed by the July 2021 advisory for pitted nearside front brake discs suggests a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive component replacement. Given the age of the Discovery Sport and the time elapsed since the last MOT, a thorough check of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion is essential, as these components are common points of failure on this model as mileage approaches six figures.
