2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · DU65 WCE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection history indicates a reactive approach to basic maintenance. While it passed the test on June 5, 2026 at 80,414 miles, it failed just days prior due to a non-functional horn, a nearside rear tyre worn to the limit, and a damaged offside rear tyre. This sequence suggests that the owner only addresses defects when forced to by an MOT failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance on consumables and safety-critical equipment. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between the January 2023 test at 64,321 miles and the January 2024 test at 71,029 miles, during which the car covered roughly 7,000 miles. More recently, the vehicle clocked nearly 6,000 miles between September 2024 and June 2026. This steady usage rate generally promotes even wear on rubber components and suspension bushings compared to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the recent failure shows uneven wear and impact damage, which could indicate alignment issues or poor pressure management. The 2026 record notes that the undertray was sprayed with underseal; this is often an attempt to mask surface corrosion, so a close check of the structural integrity beneath the new coating is necessary. Given the history of minor wiper blade and horn failures, the electrical system and all exterior trim components should be verified to ensure no other neglected faults remain.
