2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · AE17 GXT

The Discovery Sport presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 7 April 2026 at 98,566 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or mechanical faults logged across the available history. The vehicle cleared its April 2026 test after a failed attempt on 31 March 2026 at 98,538 miles, though no defects were listed on either entry, indicating the failure likely stemmed from an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect. Recorded mileage sits at 98,566 against a nine-year lifespan, averaging roughly 10,952 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The history shows 82,880 miles on 21 June 2024, rising to 92,459 by 3 April 2025 and 98,566 by April 2026, a steady annual accumulation near 6,000 to 9,000 miles with no abrupt jumps. The record is sparse, containing only three passes and two fails, all with zero defects noted, so no wear pattern on consumables or drivetrain can be inferred from the data. Given the clean MOT entries, the previous owner appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance, but the two failures without recorded defects warrant scrutiny. A buyer should verify the reasons for the March 2025 and March 2026 failures through DVSA failure sheets, as undocumented rejection causes may hide minor items such as lamp alignment or number plate legibility. In person, inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related corrosion, and confirm exhaust emissions and structural integrity match the clean record. The lack of advisories across five tests suggests either diligent upkeep or superficial testing; a physical check of tyre tread depth and wiper condition remains prudent despite no flags raised.
