2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · BA11 GGM

This Land Rover Discovery Sport presents a clean MOT history over the past 12 months, with the most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 87,135 miles showing no defects—an outcome mirrored in the three preceding passes since 24 September 2024 (80,924 miles) and 11 October 2023 (67,743 miles). The only anomaly is the 3 October 2023 failure at 67,712 miles , which lacked recorded defects, suggesting a procedural or administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. The trend is stable, with consistent compliance and no recurring advisories or major repairs flagged. This indicates the vehicle has either been well-maintained by previous owners or has naturally aged without developing critical wear patterns. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for its age, averaging around 8,700 miles per year —a figure that suggests neither excessive nor negligible driving. The gap between the 2023 October tests (67,712 to 67,743 miles) implies a brief period of inactivity or misreporting, while the 13,181-mile jump between 2023 and 2024 (67,743 to 80,924 miles) reflects normal annual usage. The most recent 6,211-mile interval (80,924 to 87,135 miles) between tests in September 2024 and June 2025 is slightly below the DVSA’s recommended 12-month limit but still within acceptable parameters. There’s no evidence of rapid degradation or neglect in the mileage pattern. Given the absence of defects or advisories in recent tests, a prospective buyer should still verify suspension components —particularly the rear coil springs and bushings—given the Discovery Sport’s propensity for wear in off-road or high-load conditions. The brake system should be checked for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, even though no issues were recorded; Land Rovers often develop subtle brake drag over time. Structural corrosion in high-stress areas like the sills, wheel arches, and underbody should be inspected closely, especially if the vehicle has spent time in rural or coastal environments. While the MOT history is reassuring, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would be prudent to confirm no latent issues exist in the drivetrain, steering geometry, or electrical systems , which are common areas for deferred maintenance in this model.
