2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · E3 GES

The 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport is currently roadworthy, with a clean MOT result from April 2026 at 44,259 miles. The maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern in recent years, particularly concerning tyre wear and brake condition. While the vehicle passed with no major defects in 2024 and 2023, the last two MOTs have flagged multiple tyre issues, including nearside rear inner and front tyres worn close to the legal limit, indicating potential alignment or suspension problems. The front brake discs are also showing wear, though not excessive, suggesting routine inspection is needed. The recorded mileage of 44,259 miles over nine years equates to approximately 4,918 miles per year, which is low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests the car has seen limited use, possibly due to infrequent driving or long periods of inactivity. The MOT history shows consistent testing every 12 months, with no gaps, and a steady increase in mileage between tests. The absence of defects in 2023 and 2024 indicates the vehicle was well-maintained during those periods, but the recent tyre wear raises concerns about whether the vehicle has been driven regularly enough to prevent uneven wear or whether underlying mechanical issues are at play. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as uneven tyre wear often points to suspension misalignment or wear. The front brake discs should be checked for thickness and any signs of warping, and the brake calipers should be inspected for binding or sticking. Additionally, the nearside rear inner tyre wear warrants a close look at the rear wheel alignment and potential issues with the rear suspension geometry. The presence of a nail in the offside front tyre during the 2025 MOT also suggests a need to inspect the wheel rims for damage or corrosion.
