Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a relat
When inspecting this petrol-engined Discovery Sport, pay close attention to the braking system and tyres. Earlier MOT records for this specific vehicle noted pitted or scored rear brake discs and edge-worn tyres, so ensure these have been replaced or are in good condition.
Because the 2022, 2023, and 2024 MOTs all noted that engine covers and undertrays prevented a full inspection of certain components, you should ask for a detailed service history to confirm that under-engine maintenance has been performed. Check for any signs of oil misting on the shock absorbers, a concern noted in the 2022 MOT, to ensure the suspension remains in good order.
As a 2.0L petrol model, running costs will be higher than a diesel equivalent, particularly regarding fuel economy in stop-start traffic. You should check the specific tax band and insurance group for this 1997cc engine, as Land Rover models typically fall into mid-to-high insurance categories.
Maintenance costs for this model can be significant, especially when addressing suspension or braking components, which are common failure points for the Discovery Sport range. Expect typical annual running costs to include fuel, insurance, and periodic maintenance of consumables like tyres and brakes.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history for this car has previously flagged 'misted' shock absorbers and issues with brake disc corrosion. Ensure the suspension feels firm and there are no leaks.
Given that multiple MOT tests (2022-2024) were unable to fully inspect certain items due to engine covers and undertrays, it is vital to verify that any reported issues with brakes or tyres from those years were actually rectified and not just ignored. Check the tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure they aren't wearing unevenly on the edges, as seen in the 2023 record.
This 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport (KM19JUU) has covered 42,290 miles, which is slightly above the model average of 8,657 miles per year for its age. The MOT history shows a progression from several advisories in its earlier years to a clean pass in its most recent 2026 test. While engine covers have previously limited the depth of inspections, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 86.5% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including suspension arms, brake discs, and tyres.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Ingenium Timing Chain Stretch (The "Slap")(Serious)
The 2.0 diesel engine suffers from premature timing chain wear, often called "timing chain slap" as the chain stretches and hits the guides. This is primarily caused by oil dilution from interrupted DPF regenerations thinning the lubricant.
- Oil Dilution & Early Service Warning(Serious)
Interrupted DPF regenerations cause diesel to leak into the oil sump. When calculated dilution reaches 6% to 7%, the "Service Required" warning is triggered, often as early as 6,000–8,000 miles regardless of the official 21k-mile interval.
- Panoramic Roof and Boot Water Ingress(Moderate)
Blocked drains and poor sealing can lead to wet carpets and electrical faults.
