2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · KA55 JCK

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on June 5 2025 at 68,365 miles passed, although a minor obstruction was noted where a child seat prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belt. This follows a successful pass in June 2024 after a brief failure for a non-functional dipped headlamp, which was rectified immediately before the subsequent test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression of roughly 7,700 miles between October 2022 and October 2023, followed by another 11,500 miles in the following two leading up to June 2025. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and braking components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading due to age rather than mechanical stress. A physical inspection should focus on the front oil leak identified during the October 2023 test at 56,569 miles. While the tester noted the leak was not excessive at that time, such leaks on Land Rover engines can indicate failing gaskets or seals that may require monitoring over time. The buyer should also verify the condition of the tyres, as the 2022 test flagged perishing and cracking on both rear tyres. Given the low mileage, these rubber components and suspension bushes should be checked for dry rot or cracking regardless of the remaining tread depth.
