2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · KM68 MMU

The most recent MOT test conducted on 14 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. An analysis of the preceding five years of MOT history shows a remarkably stable and consistent maintenance trend, with no recorded failures or warnings regarding emissions, lighting, or structural integrity. This clean record suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained and has not been subject to the typical recurring issues often seen in older premium SUVs, such as progressive corrosion or deteriorating braking systems. The vehicle has covered 109,456 miles over its eight-year lifespan, representing an average annual usage of approximately 13,682 miles. This level of mileage is higher than the UK average for this vehicle class, indicating regular and consistent use. While high mileage typically accelerates the wear of consumable components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake pads, the steady accumulation of miles suggests the vehicle has likely been used for long-distance commuting rather than sitting idle. This is beneficial as it reduces the risk of component seizure or fluid degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. As the MOT history is devoid of advisories, your physical inspection should focus on age-related wear and high-mileage mechanical fatigue. During a test drive, listen carefully for any knocks or clunks from the suspension, which could indicate worn bushes or failing dampers, and feel for any brake shudder or pulsation that might suggest warped discs or binding calipers. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear patterns that could signal alignment issues, and check the sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking. Furthermore, given the mileage, it is essential to verify the service history for evidence of critical maintenance, such as timing belt replacements and regular oil and coolant changes, as these are vital for long-term engine health. You should also check the battery condition and inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of weeping from the engine, gearbox, or differential seals. High-mileage vehicles often exhibit minor fluid leaks that may not yet be significant enough to trigger an MOT failure but require close monitoring to prevent more costly repairs.
