Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this vehicle, prioritize a physical inspection of the tyres and braking system. The most recent MOT in February 2026 highlighted issues with the nearside rear tyre (cracking and wear) and pitted rear brake discs. You should negotiate the price downwards if these items have not been replaced since the last test, or ensure they have been addressed with recent receipts.
Ask the seller for evidence of a full service history, particularly regarding oil changes for the 2.0L diesel engine. Given the recurring advisories for tyres and brakes, check if the vehicle has been driven in urban environments which can accelerate wear on these components. Ensure the windscreen wipers and all lighting elements are fully functional, as these have appeared in previous MOT records.
As a 1999cc diesel, this Discovery Sport will offer relatively efficient fuel economy for its size, though costs will vary based on driving style and load. Tax and insurance groups for this model can be moderate to high depending on the specific trim level and driver profile.
Maintenance costs for Land Rover models often trend higher than mainstream brands. You should budget for regular replacements of consumables like brake discs and tyres, which have been a recurring theme in this vehicle's MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are expected to be in the mid-range for a premium SUV.
Focus heavily on the wheel and tyre condition. The MOT history for KM68WXF shows a pattern of worn edges, cracking, and perishing tyres across multiple years (2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026). Check the sidewalls for any signs of perishing or damage, especially on the nearside rear.
Inspect the braking system thoroughly. There is a documented history of brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored in 2023, 2025, and 2026. Check for any vibrations when braking or unusual noises. Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers, as a defective blade was noted in the 2022 MOT record.
This 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport (KM68WXF) has covered 50,709 miles since its first registration in October 2018. The MOT history shows a consistent trend of advisories and defects related to tyres and brake discs across almost every annual test. While it has passed all tests to date, the frequency of wear-and-tear items needing attention suggests a need for thorough mechanical inspection.
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.
