2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · AX17 TXP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on June 3, 2025. While the maintenance trend appears stable, the most recent record shows a significant failure on that same day at 79,597 miles due to an inoperative or malfunctioning engine management indicator light. The fact that the vehicle was immediately repaired and passed the re-test suggests the owner addressed the electronic fault promptly, though it highlights a potential issue with the sensors or engine management system that requires monitoring. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between the June 2022 test at 50,759 miles and the June 2025 test at 79,597 miles, the vehicle covered 28,838 miles over three years. This steady accumulation suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which often leads to rubber component degradation or brake corrosion. There are no sudden spikes in mileage that would indicate recent heavy-duty use or odometer tampering. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the electronic systems to ensure the previously reported MIL fault was not a symptom of a deeper wiring or sensor failure. Given the lack of recorded structural advisories or suspension defects in the MOT history, the chassis integrity appears well-maintained. However, a manual check of the air suspension components and lower control arm bushings is advisable, as these are common points of wear on the Discovery Sport at this mileage that do not always trigger an MOT failure until significant failure occurs.
