2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport SE D Mhev Auto 2.0L Diesel · AE71 RXN

The Discovery Sport presents a stable, well-maintained roadworthiness profile with no serious structural or mechanical failures recorded across its MOT history. The most recent test, conducted on 31 July 2025 at 33,050 miles, resulted in a pass accompanied solely by a minor advisory concerning the nearside rear brake pads wearing thin. This is a routine consumable observation typical of a vehicle approaching its next brake service interval, not indicative of a systemic braking defect. The preceding test on 8 August 2024 at 25,035 miles recorded zero defects, confirming a clean bill of health at that stage. The overall trend is therefore stable, with no recurring or worsening fault pattern evident from the DVSA record. Mileage accumulation sits at approximately 6,610 miles per year across five years of ownership, which is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age and class. The interval between the two recorded tests spans roughly one year and covers 8,015 miles, a consistent and unremarkable rate of use. There are no significant gaps in the MOT record that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity or unregistered use, and the mileage progression is linear without sudden spikes that might indicate high-intensity driving or odometer anomalies. The sole advisory from the July 2025 test points to nearside rear brake pad wear reaching the threshold for monitoring. A prospective buyer should inspect the rear brake pads and discs in person, checking pad thickness and disc condition to determine whether replacement is imminent. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a thorough inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust system for corrosion is also advisable, particularly if the vehicle has been used in coastal or salted-road environments. The MHEV system and automatic transmission should be assessed for smooth operation during a road test, with attention to any delayed gear changes or warning lights on the dashboard.
