2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · JR59 ONE

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 2 July 2025 at 87,823 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. While the vehicle failed its initial inspection on 30 June 2025 at 87,671 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests this was likely a procedural or administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The absence of any advisories across the last four years of testing points to a well-maintained vehicle that has avoided the common recurring issues often seen in this model range. The recorded mileage of 87,823 miles over a nine-year period averages approximately 9,750 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage patterns for a Land Rover Discovery Sport. The testing frequency shows a notable shift in late 2023, moving from an annual cycle to a more irregular pattern. Specifically, the gap between the December 2022 test at 52,847 miles and the December 2023 test at 67,495 miles shows higher usage, followed by a period of approximately 12,000 miles covered between July 2024 and July 2025. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left standing for extended periods, which generally benefits the longevity of seals and drivetrain components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these components endure significant stress on this platform. Although the MOT history is clean, the current age and mileage mean that suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs may be nearing the end of their design life. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads for signs of scoring or uneven wear, as these are high-consumption items not always captured in the pass-only MOT data. Check the undercarriage for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and ensure that all electronic parking brake functions operate without hesitation, as these are known pressure points for this specific vehicle architecture.
