2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · AX17 EZM

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT pass on 18 March 2026 showing no recorded defects. The history is largely characterised by clean passes, with the only recorded mechanical concern being a single advisory for thinning front brake pads during the February 2025 inspection. This suggests a stable mechanical profile over the recorded testing period, as there are no patterns of recurring failures, structural corrosion, or recurring emissions issues documented in the DVSA history. The vehicle has covered 64,257 miles over approximately nine years, representing an average annual usage of roughly 7,140 miles. This mileage accumulation is consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for a vehicle of this age. From a mechanical perspective, this level of mileage suggests that while major drivetrain components may not have reached high-wear thresholds, consumable items such as suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and braking components will be subject to standard age-related degradation rather than heavy high-mileage wear. Given the advisory regarding front brake pad wear in early 2025, a prospective buyer should verify if this work was carried out following that test. During a test drive, it is advisable to monitor the braking performance for any signs of pedal judder, which could indicate warped brake discs, or any pulling to one side under braking, which might suggest a binding caliper. The absence of recent brake-related defects in the March 2026 test is a positive indicator, but physical inspection of the remaining pad thickness and disc surface condition remains a necessary step. Beyond the braking system, the lack of recorded advisories for suspension components, steering linkages, or exhaust systems means there are no specific mechanical symptoms, such as knocks over bumps or steering wander, that the MOT history explicitly warns of. However, because the vehicle has been used at a relatively low annual mileage, it is prudent to check for any signs of fluid weeping from the engine or gearbox, as vehicles used for shorter, less frequent journeys can sometimes exhibit minor oil misting or seal seepage that does not always trigger an immediate MOT failure.
