2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · EY65 KFR

The most recent MOT test on September 26, 2025, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 86,315 miles. This marks a stable pattern over the past three annual tests, with no recurring advisories or failures—an uncommonly clean record for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The absence of any advisory notes suggests the tester did not identify any hidden issues requiring attention, though this does not preclude undetected wear. The final pass date of September 2025 means the vehicle is currently 10 months out of date, exceeding the standard 12-month validity window. While the record shows no mechanical red flags, the extended period since the last test introduces a higher risk of unchecked wear, particularly in suspension components, brake systems, and corrosion-prone areas. The mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 7,800 miles annually. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in the record—each test aligns closely with the 12-month interval, and the mileage increments are consistent. The most notable observation is the duplicate entry for September 2024, where the vehicle was tested twice at the same mileage (75,476) before passing. This anomaly suggests either a retest after an administrative error or a deliberate double-check, but it does not imply mechanical issues. The steady mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has been regularly driven rather than stored, which generally reduces the risk of neglected wear. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are common wear items that may not always trigger MOT failures until they reach critical failure points. The brakes, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding—though the record shows no past failures, wear can accelerate with age. Structural integrity is another critical area; the frame rails, subframe mounts, and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion or cracks, especially given the vehicle’s age. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not guarantee these components are sound, so a detailed visual and functional assessment is essential. Finally, the extended time since the last MOT means a pre-purchase inspection should include a full brake fluid flush, power steering and coolant system checks, and a review of the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion.
