2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · KX19 SDD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards neglect regarding preventative care. The most recent test on June 4 2026 at 77,067 miles flagged multiple defects across the entire braking system, including thin pads and pitted discs on both axles. While the vehicle passed, the simultaneous accumulation of these wear items suggests that the previous owner was waiting for MOT failures or near-failures before addressing routine mechanical maintenance rather than performing them at standard intervals. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical high-use family vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 20,000 miles between the July 2023 test and the June 2025 test. Following the 2025 test, the vehicle has covered another 20,000 miles in just one year, indicating a recent period of more intensive use. The failure in 2023 due to an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp suggests a past electronic or sensor issue that required immediate attention before the vehicle could be tested again. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the rear sub-frame due to the corrosion noted in the June 2026 report. Although the tester deemed it not yet seriously weakened, structural rust on Land Rover components can progress rapidly and lead to expensive repairs if not monitored. The recurring history of worn brake discs and thin pads across 2025 and 2026 indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its service life. You should also check for uneven tyre wear and seized calipers, as the record shows a history of rear tyres worn to the legal limit.
