2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · EY67 YCT

A pattern of recent tyre-related issues and a single lighting failure defines the recent MOT history for this Land Rover Discovery Sport, though the record shows an improving trend toward a clean status. While the vehicle failed in August 2024 due to a non-functional nearside front position lamp, the subsequent tests in 2025 and 2026 have returned with no defects or advisories recorded. The 2024 test period was notable for multiple advisories concerning front tyre wear on the edges and signs of perishing, which were resolved prior to the 2025 passing result. The vehicle has covered 70,781 miles over its nine-year lifespan, averaging approximately 7,865 miles per year. This mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age and does not indicate extreme high-mileage wear or unusually long periods of inactivity. From a mechanical perspective, this steady usage pattern suggests that components such as the suspension, braking system, and drivetrain have been subjected to regular, predictable cycles of operation rather than the stresses of heavy long-distance motorway driving or the potential degradation associated with infrequent use. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front tyre condition and alignment, given the 2024 advisories regarding uneven wear on the edges and cracking. During a test drive, it is essential to monitor the steering for any pulling to one side or vibrations through the steering wheel, which could indicate that the underlying cause of the uneven tyre wear, such as incorrect camber or toe settings, has not been fully rectified. Additionally, check the front tyres for any visible sidewall cracking or uneven tread patterns that might suggest the perishing noted in previous records has recurred. While the most recent tests have been clear, the history of tyre edge wear warrants a physical inspection of the front suspension components. Listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when navigating uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which may indicate wear in the suspension bushes or ball joints. Ensuring that the steering feels centered and that the vehicle tracks straight under light braking will help confirm that the previous issues with tyre wear and component geometry have been addressed.
