2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · FN68 XWJ

The Discovery Sport presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 69,178 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since late 2023. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 8,600 miles, consistent with typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show steady annual accumulation: 42,253 miles at the October 2022 tests, 51,111 miles by 28 September 2023, 60,673 miles by 7 October 2024, and 69,178 miles by October 2025. The only irregularity is a failed test on 21 October 2022 at 42,253 miles, reversed three days later on 24 October 2022 at identical mileage with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or defects appear across the available history, so the MOT record alone reveals no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A clean sheet over four years implies the previous owner kept basic consumables and emissions within limits. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underside structural integrity, drivetrain mounts, and brake caliper operation, as the MOT only captures pass-day condition. Given the Land Rover's age, check for early bush degradation and dampers not yet severe enough to flag.
