2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport 1.5L Hybrid electric · FSZ 7289

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently Pass , but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend in suspension and braking components. The most recent test on 2026-01-27 at 27,883 miles was a PASSED result, yet the specific faults recorded on that date—pitted or scored inner brake discs—suggest a failure mode that has not yet resolved. This indicates that while the chassis is structurally sound, the suspension bushings and coil springs are likely in worse condition than previously recorded, likely due to neglect or reduced use over the past 4 years. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately 6,971 miles per year , which is consistent with its age but raises concerns about potential rapid accumulation of wear. The gap between the 2026 test and the 2022 purchase date suggests that the vehicle may have experienced a period of significant mileage accumulation without adequate maintenance, potentially leading to a worsening trend in suspension health. If the car has been driven recently, the recurring faults in the inner brake discs and pitted discs indicate that the braking system is not currently in a safe state, even though the overall MOT is passing. In conclusion, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the suspension bushings and coil springs, as well as the state of the brake discs and calipers. The recurring faults in the inner brake discs and pitted discs, combined with the worsening trend observed in the 2026 test, strongly suggest that the braking system is not in a safe state and may require immediate attention. The vehicle should not be driven until these components are inspected and repaired to ensure safety.
