2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport R-DYN S D A 2.0L Diesel · H1 BAR

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 with 29,129 miles, confirming it is currently roadworthy, but the test flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and exhibiting edge wear—a clear sign of alignment or suspension issues that have persisted or recently worsened. This is the first defect recorded in four consecutive passes, indicating a shift from previously clean results and demanding immediate attention. Mileage accumulation over the past six years has been consistently low at roughly 4,855 miles annually, with no gaps exceeding 12 months between tests. The progression from 14,074 miles in June 2023 to 29,129 miles in June 2026 shows steady, moderate use without sudden spikes, suggesting the vehicle has not been left idle for extended periods nor subjected to heavy usage. The absence of defects in the three prior tests reflects a period of stable mechanical condition, making the current tyre wear stand out as a new concern rather than a long-standing pattern. The edge wear on both front tyres strongly suggests misalignment, worn suspension bushes, or failing steering components, all of which can accelerate tyre degradation and compromise handling. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry, control arm bushes, and wheel bearings in person. The brake system should also be checked for binding calipers or uneven pad wear, as these can contribute to abnormal tyre contact. While no corrosion, exhaust, or structural defects have ever been recorded, the sudden appearance of tyre wear after years of clean results signals that maintenance may have lapsed or a component has begun to fail. A full four-wheel alignment and suspension inspection are non-negotiable before purchase.
