Our Verdict
This 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport presents a mixed picture with low recorded mileage and clean recent passes, though its history features initial test failures in consecutive years. Buyers should verify the reasons behind those preliminary test failures before committing.
When inspecting this Discovery Sport, ask the seller to explain the circumstances surrounding the two failed MOT tests in May 2024 and April 2025, noting that both tests were rectified and passed within a matter of days. Since no specific defects were logged on the MOT certificate records, you should inspect the physical paper or digital history for any notes from the testing station regarding why those initial tests were unsuccessful.
Verify the service schedule in the paperwork, paying close attention to oil change intervals for the 2.0-litre diesel engine. Check all tyres, headlamps, and brake pads carefully, as these represent the top MOT failure reasons across the wider Discovery Sport model range (94,718 vehicles analysed, 86.7% average pass rate).
Running a 2019 diesel Discovery Sport involves typical costs for a large family SUV, including fuel economy suited to long-distance driving and standard UK vehicle excise duty bands for diesel models registered after April 2017. Insurance sits in higher groupings typical of premium Land Rover products, and maintenance budgets should account for specialist servicing.
Typical annual running costs—incorporating fuel, road tax, insurance, and routine maintenance—are estimated between £1,800 and £2,200 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Pay close attention to the tyres, headlamps, and brake pads, which are the most common MOT failure points for this model. Verify that all exterior lighting functions correctly and inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewalls across all four corners.
Listen closely to the 1999.0cc diesel engine during a cold start for any unusual noises from the timing chain or ancillaries, and test all four-wheel drive and electronic terrain management systems during a thorough test drive.
First registered in May 2019, this white Land Rover Discovery Sport with a 1999.0cc diesel engine has covered 64,417 miles as of its April 2025 MOT test. Its MOT history shows initial failures in May 2024 and April 2025 followed by prompt passes days later, with no specific advisories or defects recorded across any of its tests. With an average annual mileage tracking around 10,700 miles, it sits slightly above the model aggregate average of 8,669 miles per year.
The Land Rover Discovery Sport has an aggregate MOT pass rate of 86.7% across 94,718 analysed vehicles, with tyres, headlamps, and brake pads forming the top failure reasons.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Ingenium Timing Chain Stretch (The "Slap")(Serious)
The 2.0 diesel engine suffers from premature timing chain wear, often called "timing chain slap" as the chain stretches and hits the guides. This is primarily caused by oil dilution from interrupted DPF regenerations thinning the lubricant.
- Oil Dilution & Early Service Warning(Serious)
Interrupted DPF regenerations cause diesel to leak into the oil sump. When calculated dilution reaches 6% to 7%, the "Service Required" warning is triggered, often as early as 6,000–8,000 miles regardless of the official 21k-mile interval.
- Panoramic Roof and Boot Water Ingress(Moderate)
Blocked drains and poor sealing can lead to wet carpets and electrical faults.
