2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · AE68 BCO

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile that has trended towards worsening mechanical advisories over the last two years. While the most recent test on 7 August 2025 at 45,983 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged multiple tyre issues, including both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and a cut on the nearside front tyre. This follows a more significant list of advisories from the August 2024 test at 39,073 miles, where the inspector noted corrosion on the rear sub-frame and pitted front inner brake discs. The recorded mileage of 45,983 miles is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,748 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the recorded intervals, with the vehicle covering roughly 5,500 to 6,500 miles between each annual test. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on drivetrain components, the presence of uneven tyre wear and sub-frame corrosion suggests the vehicle may have spent periods stationary or has experienced alignment issues. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the rear sub-frame to ensure the corrosion noted in August 2024 has not progressed beyond a surface issue. The recurring advisory regarding tyres wearing on the edges, seen in both 2024 and 2025, indicates a potential underlying suspension or wheel alignment problem that requires immediate attention. Furthermore, the pitting on the front brake discs reported in 2024 should be checked to ensure the braking system is not suffering from moisture-induced corrosion due to infrequent use.
