2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · FN68 YDC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 80,242 miles resulted in a failure due to minor defects including an insecure registration plate, a blown bulb, and low front tyre. While the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs, the recurrence of tyre wear issues across multiple years suggests the owner waits for an MOT failure to address consumable items rather than performing scheduled maintenance. At 80,242 miles over eight years, the Discovery Sport has averaged approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for this class. The mileage accumulation is consistent between intervals, with roughly 11,600 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and over 13,000 miles between 2023 and 2024. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is not sitting, but it also places consistent demand on heavy-duty suspension and braking components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The 2024 record at 68,596 miles flagged worn, pitted brake discs and thin pads across all corners, alongside worn front wishbone rear bushes. Because these components were not listed as advisories in the 2025 test, it is unclear if they were replaced or if the wear persists. Furthermore, the repeated reports of uneven tyre wear in 2022 and 2025 indicate a potential alignment issue or worn suspension geometry that needs to be verified to prevent premature tyre failure.
