2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport 1.5L Petrol · AF70 KCV

The Discovery Sport presents a clean MOT record with no defects recorded across all three tests. The most recent MOT on 10 September 2025 at 9,806 miles passed with zero advisories or failures, indicating the vehicle was in sound mechanical and structural condition at that point. The maintenance trend is stable and unremarkable in the best sense, with no recurring faults, no corrosion concerns, and no mechanical deterioration flagged by any tester over the recorded history. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2022-registered vehicle. Between the October 2024 test at 9,146 miles and the September 2025 test at 9,806 miles, the vehicle covered just 660 miles over nearly eleven months. That equates to roughly 720 miles per year in the most recent period, well below the already modest 2,452 miles per year average across the vehicle's life. Such low annual use raises the possibility of extended periods standing stationary, which can affect tyre flat-spotting, brake surface corrosion, and battery health. The MOT record itself shows no evidence of these issues manifesting, but the usage pattern warrants closer physical inspection. Prospective buyers should still carry out a thorough in-person assessment. Low-mileage vehicles that sit idle can develop perished rubber suspension bushes, deteriorated brake caliper seals, and exhaust system condensation corrosion despite presenting clean MOT results. A test drive should focus on brake feel after cold starts, listening for suspension knocks over uneven surfaces, and checking tyre date codes against sidewall condition. The vehicle's underbody and subframes should be inspected for surface corrosion, particularly around mounting points and drain areas, as Land Rover platforms are susceptible to corrosion in vehicles that see limited use. The clean MOT history is encouraging, but it cannot substitute for a physical inspection given the unusual mileage profile.
