2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · ET68 OFE

The vehicle presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT on 9 April 2026 at 56,649 miles with zero defects. The recurring issues from earlier tests appear to have been addressed, indicating that the previous owner kept on top of the wear items. This is a solid foundation for a used Discovery Sport, demonstrating consistent roadworthiness over the last four years. Covering roughly 7,000 miles annually, the mileage accumulation is entirely typical for an eight-year-old vehicle, showing no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in usage. The recorded distance increased by 7,245 miles between the April 2025 and April 2026 tests, confirming regular use without excessive strain on the drivetrain. Steady annual accumulation like this generally prevents the moisture ingress and component seizure often seen on cars left standing for months. Despite the recent clean test, buyers must physically inspect the front braking components. The April 2025 test at 49,404 miles flagged both inner front brake discs for wear, pitting, and scoring. Although the vehicle passed, pitted discs degrade quickly under heavy use, and given the Discovery Sport's weight, verify whether these components have since been replaced or if they remain in situ with further surface degradation. The April 2022 test at 23,808 miles noted cuts on both rear tyres that did not expose the cords. Tyre cuts can develop slowly over time, so examine the current rear sidewalls for any bulging or deepening of these original marks. A physical underbody check is also wise, as the 2022 report mentioned engine covers and under trays were fitted, which can sometimes mask fluid leaks or conceal corrosion on the chassis.
