2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · AE17 DTU

The Discovery Sport presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 January 2026 at 101,918 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests show no advisories or faults. The vehicle's history indicates consistent upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,300 miles, typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 82,595 miles in February 2023, 87,608 by January 2024, 94,072 in January 2025, and 101,918 in January 2026. A single failed test appears on 19 January 2024 at 87,605 miles, but the very next day the vehicle passed at 87,608 miles with no defects logged, suggesting the failure was administrative or a trivial rectification rather than a serious mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT run with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection. The absence of flagged wear does not exempt the Land Rover from age-related degradation at 101,918 miles. Examine the front suspension arms, rear subframe for corrosion, and brake calipers for binding during a pre-purchase check. The sparse but clean record implies the previous owner kept the vehicle to statutory test standard without neglect. No recurring faults emerge across the five entries, so no worsening trend exists. A buyer should verify service history matches the mileage and confirm timing belt and transmission fluids were attended to outside the MOT scope.
