2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport S Auto 2.0L Petrol · BN70 ULZ

The Land Rover Discovery Sport presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 19 January 2026 at 47,066 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The January 2026 test logged both a fail and a pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in January 2025 at 41,526 miles and February 2024 at 38,559 miles also passed clean, and the only other failure on 30 January 2024 at 38,558 miles likewise carried no recorded defects. Annual mileage has tracked at a modest average of roughly 9,400 miles per year, with the odometer moving from 38,558 miles in late January 2024 to 47,066 miles by January 2026. The gap between the early 2024 and early 2025 tests shows around 2,967 miles covered, then 5,540 miles to the 2026 test, a slight upward drift but still within typical use for a five-year-old vehicle. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, showing no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's standing periods implied by low yearly use, as moisture-related binding or surface corrosion will not show on a defect-free MOT. The same applies to coil springs and subframe mounts, where light use can mask fatigue until loaded. Verify the January 2026 same-day fail was purely procedural by checking the V5C and DVSA portal, since a nil-defect failure often means a documentation mismatch rather than workshop repair. No recurring mechanical faults or structural risks emerge from the history, and the absence of advisories suggests previous owners kept the Discovery Sport to a basic but sufficient standard. Given the clean trail, focus the viewing on underbody condition and evidence of fluid leaks that a pass test at 47,066 miles would not necessarily capture.
