2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · GR02 ALD

The 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent March 2026 inspection at 73,073 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance with safety standards over nearly a decade, suggesting responsible maintenance practices. No recurring mechanical or structural issues are evident in the record, and the absence of advisories or failures indicates the previous owner prioritized regular servicing. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,119 miles annually. The MOT intervals correspond closely with yearly milestones, with each test occurring within a 12-month window. The 2022 test at 40,936 miles marked the first recorded mileage, followed by steady increases to 73,073 miles in 2026. No abrupt spikes or extended periods of inactivity are indicated, implying consistent operation rather than prolonged storage. This pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive wear from heavy use or neglect. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, as older Land Rovers of this era are prone to wear in bushes and coil springs, even if not flagged in MOT records. The exhaust system and underbody corrosion should also be checked, as these components can degrade over time without immediate visible defects. While the MOT history shows no red flags, the absence of recorded issues does not eliminate the need for a professional assessment of mechanical components that may not be tested during standard MOT procedures.
