2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport SE D Auto 2.0L Diesel · FJ69 XTM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with an improving maintenance trend following previous mechanical failures. The most recent MOT conducted on August 27 2025 at 44,069 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the owner successfully addressed previously identified issues. This stability follows a clean result in September 2024 at 36,484 miles, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained. The mileage pattern is consistent with light usage for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of over 11,000 miles between June 2022 and July 2023, followed by roughly 6,400 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This relatively low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and heavy suspension components, though the intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber perishables if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and tyre alignment specifically. The July 2023 failure at 30,045 miles flagged both front tyres for uneven inner edge wear and exposed cords on the nearside sidewall, which points to incorrect tracking geometry or worn suspension bushes. While the subsequent tests passed, a physical check of the ball arms and wishbones is necessary to ensure the underlying cause was rectified rather than ignored. The July 2024 failure at 36,483 miles due to high exhaust emissions and visible smoke indicates a diesel particulate filter issue. Although the vehicle passed the following year without, the buyer should monitor for any signs of smoke under acceleration to ensure the DPF system and injector health are fully restored. Checking the windscreen wiper assembly is also advised, as this was a previous point of failure in 2023.
