2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · CE66 ADU

This Land Rover Discovery Sport has maintained a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across all five tests, including the most recent pass on 10 September 2025 at 104,933 miles. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if not rigorous, servicing, though the lack of specific fault codes means critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers have not been explicitly tested for wear beyond the MOT’s basic thresholds. The most recent test occurred just over ten months ago, which is within the acceptable window for a vehicle of this age and mileage, though buyers should verify whether the current owner has adhered to the manufacturer’s recommended service intervals—particularly for high-mileage items such as timing belts, transfer case fluid, or differential seals. The mileage progression indicates steady usage, averaging around 10,500 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There is a notable gap between the September 2023 failure (78,510 miles) and the subsequent pass (78,818 miles), a mere 308 miles in just eight days—an anomaly that may reflect a rushed correction rather than genuine maintenance. The remaining intervals show consistent 12-month spacing, suggesting the vehicle has not been left unused for extended periods, which could mitigate some wear concerns. However, the lack of intermediate service records means potential issues like fluid degradation or minor corrosion could have gone unaddressed. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not covered by the test, such as the suspension’s front and rear bushes, which are prone to cracking in this model, particularly after 80,000 miles. The braking system—while not failed—should be scrutinised for uneven disc wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven in mixed terrain. Corrosion is another critical factor; the Discovery Sport’s underbody and wheel arches should be examined for pitting or structural weakening, as rust can compromise the chassis or subframe over time. Finally, the transfer case and differential should be checked for leaks, as these are often overlooked but can lead to catastrophic failure if neglected. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound.
