2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · HO11 LLX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in June 2025 at 68,513 miles passed, yet it revealed both front tyres were reaching the legal limit of 1.6mm. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically compliant, the previous owner has neglected basic consumable replacements until they reached failure points, mirroring a pattern seen in earlier brake-related notes. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in activity between May 2023 and July 2024, where the car covered only 4,225 miles in over fourteen months, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 8,389 miles between July 2024 and June 2025. This fluctuating usage suggests the vehicle may have been used intermittently or sat for extended periods, which can often lead to perished rubber components and brake corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system. The April 2024 test at 59,852 miles flagged all four brake discs as pitted or scored. While these passed the subsequent test, the recurring presence of surface degradation suggests the calipers may be sticking or the vehicle is being parked frequently. Additionally, the 2025 record noted that under-shields prevented a full inspection of the under-vehicle. It is vital to have these shields removed to check for structural corrosion or fluid leaks that the tester could not verify due to the protective covers.
