Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 June 2025 at 123,568 miles with no defects recorded. The series of inspections from August 2023 through June 2025 demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, as each test resulted in a pass or a failure that logged no defects, indicating consistent mechanical condition. Mileage accumulation is high for a ten‑year‑old vehicle, averaging about 12,357 miles per year. The odometer rose from 109,890 miles on 31 August 2023 to 114,431 miles on 9 May 2024, an increase of 4,541 miles in nine months, and then added a further 9,137 miles by June 2025. These intervals show periods of rapid use, particularly between the 2023 and 2024 tests, while the gap between the 2024 pass and the 2025 pass spans roughly 13 months. A buyer should therefore concentrate on suspension components, checking for worn bushes, fatigued coil springs, and any binding rear brake calipers, as these parts commonly exhibit wear at high mileage. Inspection of brake discs and pads for scoring or excessive wear, and a thorough examination of the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust or corrosion, are also essential, given the vehicle’s age and usage pattern. Overall, the high mileage combined with a clean defect record suggests the vehicle is mechanically sound, but close scrutiny of wear‑prone items remains necessary before purchase.
