2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · DL67 AEA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass on January 14, 2026, at 96,124 miles where no defects were recorded. This represents an improving trend in maintenance standards following a period of recurring wear-related issues. While previous tests highlighted multiple areas requiring attention, the most recent technical inspection suggests that the current owner has addressed the outstanding mechanical and consumable concerns identified in the preceding years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of distance, with 13,663 miles recorded between the April 2024 and April 2025 tests, and another 8,350 miles covered between April 2025 and January 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of stationary, which is generally beneficial for the seals and rubber components within a modern Land Rover Discovery Sport. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the front suspension geometry. The April 2024 test at 74,111 miles flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. Although these did not cause a failure, the buyer should verify there is no remaining play in the steering or excessive vibration that could indicate further component degradation. Additionally, the April 2025 report noted a fitted under-tray obscuring components, so a technician should remove this to inspect the chassis for any hidden structural corrosion or fluid leaks previously missed. The braking system history shows a pattern of frequent component replacement, particularly between 2021 and 2024 when the tester consistently flagged thin pads and pitted discs across all axles. Since the January 2026 pass was clean, the buyer should check for even pad wear and binding calipers to ensure the previous remedial work was executed correctly. Given the history of inner-edge tyre wear in 2024, verifying the current wheel alignment is also essential to prevent premature degradation of a new set of tyres.
