2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport SE D Auto 2.0L Diesel · KS69 GVV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a clean MOT passed on 29 October 2025 at 50,821 miles—its first defect-free test in over a year. The maintenance trend is improving, following a failed test in December 2024 that highlighted two fixable issues, neither of which reappeared in the subsequent inspection. The recorded mileage of 50,821 over six years aligns closely with the average annual usage of around 8,500 miles, suggesting typical use without excessive strain or prolonged inactivity. The gap between the December 2024 and October 2025 tests was unusually short at just ten months, indicating either an early retest after the prior failure or an owner attentive to compliance. No other significant mileage spikes or gaps appear in the record, and the progression from 27,559 miles in January 2023 to 50,821 today is consistent and unremarkable. A buyer should inspect the rear brake system closely, as the December 2024 failure noted nearside rear pads below the 1.5mm legal limit—a sign of accelerated wear that may point to binding calipers, uneven pad material, or poor maintenance history. The windscreen wiper failure, while minor, suggests potential neglect of routine consumables and warrants checking the washer jets, blade condition, and screen integrity. Given the vehicle’s age and the absence of structural advisories across all tests, there is no indication of corrosion or chassis damage, but a thorough underbody inspection is still advised to confirm the absence of hidden rust, particularly around wheel arches and suspension mounts. The suspension and drivetrain show no red flags in the record, but the brake issue implies that other wear items—such as tyres, bushings, or exhaust mounts—may also benefit from close visual and physical assessment.
