2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · AF67 BJZ

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-03 recorded a PASSED result with several defects. These included an oil leak (not excessive), an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, and a corroded/faulty fuel tank cradle. The tyre wear and corrosion issues align with recurring patterns observed in earlier MOTs. A failed MOT on 2024-09-27 revealed more severe defects, including nearside front and rear tyres below legal tread limits, a rear tyre with a ply/cord-deep cut, rear brake pads less than 1.5mm thick, and pitted/rear brake discs. Additional issues included a TPMS warning light, fuel tank corrosion, and an oil leak. This failure highlights a worsening trend in tyre and brake condition compared to earlier years. Recurring defects include fuel tank cradle corrosion (noted in 2024 and 2025), oil leaks (2022–2025), and tyre wear/defects (2023–2025). Brake disc and pad wear were also documented in 2022 and 2024, with some components described as “worn” or “pitted.” These issues suggest ongoing mechanical stress, potentially linked to the vehicle’s 99,427-mile mileage over nine years. The vehicle’s mileage (99,427 miles) is typical for its age, averaging ~11,047 miles annually. This does not strongly indicate excessive wear or under-use, but the recurring defects in tyres, brakes, and corrosion suggest consistent operational demands.
