2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · KC07 MAR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance following a period of reactive neglect. Since early 2023, the car has passed three consecutive MOT tests without a single defect recorded. The most recent test in July 2025 at 106,242 miles resulted in a clean sheet, indicating that the significant mechanical issues identified previously were addressed and that the vehicle is currently meeting all minimum safety standards. The recorded mileage of 106,242 miles over 13 years reflects an average annual use of approximately 8,172 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle this age. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 6,400 miles driven between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests, and approximately 7,000 miles between mid-2023 and 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle is not sat stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent seal degradation and fluid stagnation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components that showed early signs of wear. While the 2023 failure flagged a nearside rear wheel bearing with excessive play and a shock absorber with oil misting, the subsequent clean records suggest these were replaced. However, a visual check for new oil leaks on the shock dampers or movement in the wheel bearings remains necessary. The corroded exhaust joining sleeve noted in 2023 should also be inspected to ensure corrosion has not progressed to the point of requiring a full system replacement.
