2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE D Auto 2.0L Diesel · CU20 OTT

The Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE D Auto currently fails the roadworthiness test. The most recent DVSA examination on 11 April 2026 at 53,362 miles returned a failure with no defects formally recorded, an irregular outcome that points to an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a clear mechanical fault. Prior to this, the vehicle held a clean pass history across three consecutive years, so the underlying maintenance trend reads as stable rather than worsening, though the latest result leaves the current certificate status unresolved. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a six-year-old vehicle. The record shows 24,437 miles at the 21 February 2023 test, rising to 35,834 miles by 14 February 2024, then 42,935 miles on 27 February 2025, and 53,362 miles at the April 2026 failure. That equates to roughly 8,900 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps, indicating consistent private or light commercial use and no signs of neglected storage or excessive fleet cycling. The clean advisory sheets from 2023 through 2025 suggest the previous owner kept consumables and structural items within limits, with no flagged tyre tread, suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion concerns across those examinations. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the braking system, front and rear coil springs, and underbody structural integrity, since the April 2026 failure with zero logged defects demands physical verification of what the tester objected to. Given the sparse but previously unblemished record, the Discovery Sport shows no evidence of recurring mechanical neglect. The unexplained 2026 failure is the only cloud on the file. Confirm the test station's failure reason in writing before purchase, and verify the odometer reading matches the 53,362 miles held on the DVSA system.
