2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · FN18 LFT

The Discovery Sport presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 June 2025 at 62,995 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after the only failure in the record. The upkeep pattern shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the timeline. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,874 per year against an eight-year life, which is typical for the age. The records move from 33,809 miles on 13 June 2022 to 42,499 miles on 1 June 2023, then 52,302 miles on 11 June 2024 and 62,995 miles on 5 June 2025. The spread is even and the history is sparse, with only a single failed test and no advisories logged at any stage. The failure on 1 June 2023 at 42,499 miles is anomalous. The DVSA entry shows a fail with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage. This points to an administrative or process error at the test centre rather than a mechanical defect. The owner corrected it without delay, suggesting competent handling of statutory testing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's age and Land Rover's known wear patterns on these components. The clean MOT record offers no evidence of corrosion or structural concern, but the lack of advisories means consumable condition remains unverified by the tester. Verify service history to confirm drivetrain and haldex maintenance was performed alongside the passing tests.
