2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · AF17 RZL

The Discovery Sport presents as roadworthy following the March 2026 test cycle. The most recent pass came on 21 March 2026 at 89,231 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults across the full five-year record. A failed test on 17 March 2026 at 89,197 miles is logged, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects, indicating the failure stemmed from administrative or non-mechanical grounds rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. Mileage progression sits within typical bounds for a 2017 plate. The car covered 74,035 miles by 17 March 2023, rose to 79,298 by 16 March 2024, then 84,932 by 21 March 2025, and reached 89,231 by the March 2026 pass. That equates to roughly 5,200 miles per year over the recorded span, below the 9,915-mile annual average implied by the age. The clean, evenly spaced entries show no abrupt accumulation or standing gaps. Sparse defect data limits deeper wear inference, but consistent passes suggest routine servicing kept consumables within limits. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the unblemished record. The absence of advisories means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural corrosion were not flagged, but nine years of use on a Land Rover chassis warrants physical checks for early fatigue. Verify the March 2026 failure cause with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed defect. Examine underside for rust and test binding calipers under load, as MOT silence does not certify component life beyond the test day.
