2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport R-DYN HSE D A 2.0L Diesel · AE20 ODM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on March 2026 at 49,888 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year, where multiple defects were identified. While the 2025 test flagged several mechanical and wear issues, the absence of any advisories or defects in the latest record suggests that the owner has addressed the necessary repairs to meet minimum safety standards. The recorded mileage of 49,888 miles over six years reflects an average usage of approximately 8,300 miles per annum. This aligns with typical usage patterns for a modern SUV of this age. The data shows consistent annual testing with intervals of roughly 4,000 to 6,000 miles between tests from March 2023 to March 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which helps prevent the degradation of seals and rubber components associated with fluid systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front suspension components due to recurring faults. The 2024 and 2025 tests consistently highlighted pitted and scored front brake discs, indicating that while they may have been replaced, the components are prone to corrosion or wear. Furthermore, the 2025 report noted play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and a defective exhaust mounting for the DPF. A physical check should verify that these specific suspension bushings and the exhaust system integrity now remain secure to ensure the previous failures were fully resolved rather than merely masked.
