2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · DA19 HHC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of recurring electrical and suspension neglect. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 73,487 miles passed, it initially failed that same day due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp and a faulty tyre pressure monitoring system. These recurring electrical faults, which appeared in both 2024 and 2026, suggest that the owner has only addressed issues after an MOT failure rather than performing proactive diagnostic checks. At 73,487 miles, the Discovery Sport has averaged approximately 10,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a seven-year-old vehicle. The data shows a consistent interval of use, with nearly 8,000 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026. However, the rapid accumulation of mileage has led to visible wear on consumables. Three tyres were flagged as being near the legal limit across the last two tests, indicating that basic tyre maintenance is frequently deferred until the annual service intervals. A buyer must scrutinise the front suspension components, as the September 2024 test flagged oil misting on both front shock absorbers and worn bushes on the lower suspension arms. Given these are common points of failure on this model, a physical inspection should check for any further leaks or structural degradation of the rubber bushings. The repeated failure of the engine management indicator lamp necessitates a professional diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden fault codes remain related to sensor failures that were simply cleared just to pass the test.
