2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · GD18 CUW

The overall roadworthiness of this 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport is currently failing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 2026-02-09 at 86,010 miles, which was passed, but the history reveals a distinct deterioration trend. The vehicle has failed twice on the roadworthiness test itself, with the first failure occurring at 85,898 miles on 2026-02-05, followed by a second failure on 2025-03-26 at 78,270 miles. This sequence indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained in a stable or improving manner; rather, it has experienced a progressive degradation of mechanical components that will likely lead to imminent failure. The mileage pattern reflects a significant accumulation of wear that outpaces typical usage for this age group. The vehicle has undergone a rapid increase in mileage from 50,888 miles in 2023 to 86,010 miles in 2026, a total of 35,122 miles. While the initial test was passed, the subsequent failures suggest that the vehicle has been driven more frequently or longer distances since then, leading to increased wear on critical components such as brake pads, tyres, and suspension parts. This rapid mileage gain is consistent with the vehicle's age and usage profile, implying that basic upkeep has been largely skipped or insufficient, contributing to the current state of failure. Given the recurring faults and the progressive nature of the damage, the vehicle requires immediate and thorough inspection by a professional mechanic. The most recent failure was on the rear brake pad, which is a critical component that should be replaced or serviced before the vehicle reaches a safety limit. The history also indicates that the front and rear tyres have been worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that the vehicle has been ridden excessively or that the tyres require replacement to prevent further damage to the suspension and drivetrain. A buyer must be prepared for the possibility that the vehicle may have structural integrity issues, particularly around the suspension bushings and coil springs, which could cause the vehicle to become unusable without immediate intervention.
