2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · AD55 AGD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent test on 14 January 2026 at 91,327 miles, where it passed with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, moving from previous failures to a clean certificate. The failure recorded in January 2025 at 80,224 miles was resolved within a single day, suggesting that the issues identified were minor and rectified immediately to secure the subsequent pass. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical ten-year usage pattern, averaging approximately 9,133 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 66,461 miles in January 2024 to 80,239 miles in January 2025, and finally 91,327 miles in early 2026. This steady increment suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate the risk of seized calipers or perished rubber components. While the MOT history is relatively clean, the recorded failures in January 2024 and January 2025 indicate that the vehicle has required corrective work to meet minimum standards. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, specifically checking for worn bushes and coil springs, as well as inspecting the underbody for signs of corrosion. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear is also advisable. The lack of advisories in the most recent test is a positive indicator of current maintenance standards. However, the transition from a failure to a pass in both 2024 and 2025 implies that the owner has been proactive in addressing MOT non-compliance. I recommend verifying that all work required to clear those previous failures was documented with receipts to ensure no underlying mechanical issues were overlooked.
