2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · FE02 AME

The vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance trend with a clean record over the last five years. The most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 143,229 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent sequence of passes from 2021 through 2025, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a consistent state of repair without recurring mechanical failures or structural issues appearing on the official record. The mileage accumulation is high for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 15,914 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with the mileage increasing by roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually between the 2021 test at 116,707 miles and the 2025 test at 143,229 miles. A notable jump occurred between the June 2020 test and the November 2021 test, where the vehicle covered over 27,000 miles. This high-mileage profile indicates frequent long-distance driving rather than short urban trips, which often results in more even wear on drivetrain components but higher total fatigue on suspension and chassis elements. The only recorded failure occurred during the June 2020 test at 89,353 miles, where the tester flagged nearside rear brake pads below the 1.5 mm legal limit and a defective nearside front wiper blade. While these were minor consumable issues that were subsequently resolved, the high total mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. A buyer should specifically check for binding calipers, worn brake discs, and the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components are subject to significant stress at this mileage level. Given the heavy usage, a close examination of the underside for corrosion and the condition of the exhaust system is also advised. Although the MOT history shows no current advisories, the high mileage suggests that rubber components, such as engine mounts and various bushings, may be nearing the end of their service life. Checking for any signs of oil leaks around the engine and gearbox will help confirm if the high mileage has led to any seal degradation.
