2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · FG67 HHJ

The Discovery Sport presents a stable and sound roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 30 June 2025 at 51,008 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from June 2022 through June 2024 also passed clean. The lone blemish is a failed entry logged on 20 June 2023 at 41,652 miles, yet the record shows no defects cited and a pass was issued the same day on retest, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault requiring repair. Annual mileage sits low for a nine-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 34,797 miles in June 2022 to 41,652 miles in June 2023, then 46,009 miles in June 2024 and 51,008 miles in June 2025. That equates to roughly 5,600 miles per year, well below typical use. Such low accumulation suggests gentle commuting or extended standing periods, though the clean test history gives no evidence of neglect or deferred consumable replacement across the span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the vehicle. Land Rover chassis and subframes of this era are prone to underbody corrosion where road salt sits, and the MOT record lists no structural checks beyond the standard test scope. Suspension bushes, front coil springs, and brake disc wear should be measured, as low-mileage cars often develop perished rubbers and lightly corroded calipers through inactivity rather than use. The absence of advisories across five years is unusual and warrants verification of the test quality. Confirm the 2023 failure cause with DVSA, examine tyre sidewalls for age cracking, and validate service stamps against the low mileage. The vehicle reads as well kept, but a marque-specific inspection remains prudent before purchase.
