2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · EN16 HYR

The vehicle presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 81,801 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations show consistent compliance. The sole anomaly appears as a failure on 25 July 2024 at 70,861 miles with no defects logged, reversed by a pass the same day at 70,862 miles, suggesting immediate rectification and no ongoing mechanical concern. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle. From 22 June 2022 at 49,263 miles to 9 June 2023 at 58,644 miles, the car covered 9,381 miles in roughly eleven months. The 2024 tests show 70,861 miles in July 2024, equating to about 12,200 miles over thirteen months, then a modest 10,939 miles to the July 2025 test at 81,801 miles. The record is sparse but unbroken, with no gaps exceeding thirteen months, indicating regular testing and likely routine use rather than prolonged storage. No advisories or defects appear across the five entries, so the history reveals no recurring suspension bushes wear, coil spring fractures, binding calipers, brake disc corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or structural integrity issues. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of consumable items such as tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and fluid levels, alongside checks for hidden corrosion to chassis members and subframes given the vehicle's age. The absence of flagged faults implies previous owners maintained basic upkeep, but the Discovery Sport's known susceptibility to rear suspension arm bushes and front brake disc lip formation warrants hands-on verification. Given the clean MOT trajectory, mechanical risk remains low; however, the 2024 same-day fail-pass pair underscores the value of obtaining the full retest documentation. Examine service records to confirm alignment with the recorded mileages and verify that the brief failure did not involve emissions or structural checks omitted from the dataset.
