2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.2L Diesel · K50 NCA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear trend of deteriorating mechanical and structural condition. While it passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 62,304 miles, it failed the test on that same day due to a significant list of defects. The transition from a clean record in 2025 to a multi-point failure in 2026 indicates the vehicle is entering a stage where aging components require proactive replacement rather than reactive repairs. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, moving from 48,859 miles in March 2023 to 62,304 miles by early 2026. However, low mileage has not protected the vehicle from age-related degradation. The presence of corrosion on the sub-frame and brake hoses suggests that the vehicle may be subject to harsh environments or has spent long periods sitting, which accelerates oxidation of metal and rubber components. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the structural integrity and the braking system components. The January 2026 test flagged a corroded front sub-frame and corroded rear arm bushes; while not yet a failure, these are areas that require close monitoring to prevent structural weakness. The buyer should also verify the electronic parking brake operation, which was noted as defective despite being functional, and inspect the condition of all three brake hoses flagged for corrosion at the ferrules. The reported oil leak mentioned in the latest record also requires a source check to ensure it is not escalating into a critical engine failure.
