2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · AA65 SPA

The 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 September 2025 at 70,545 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or faults carried forward. The vehicle's history indicates consistent upkeep rather than deferred intervention. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,054 miles, typical for a ten-year-old vehicle of this class. The records show 39,279 miles in September 2022, 49,539 miles in August 2023, 59,471 miles in September 2024, and 70,545 miles in September 2025, equating to steady yearly use of around 10,000 miles with no abrupt accumulation. A failed test on 29 August 2023 at 49,531 miles was followed one day later by a pass at 49,539 miles with no defects listed, suggesting the failure stemmed from a minor administrative or non-mechanical cause rather than structural or consumable neglect. The clean advisory history across five tests implies the previous owner addressed wear items before they reached reporting thresholds. No corrosion, suspension bush degradation, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission breaches appear in the data. Such an unbroken record on a Discovery Sport, a model prone to rear subframe rust and front lower arm wear, points to dry storage and prompt servicing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the sills and subframe, given Land Rover's known vulnerability to underbody corrosion even when MOTs stay clear. Verify the 2023 fail reason with DVLA paperwork, and confirm brake caliper freedom and coil spring condition, as these can pass visual MOT checks yet degrade between tests.
