2022 Land Rover Discovery Sprt Rdyn SE P300E A 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · L90 GAR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 44,820 miles passed, it revealed multiple technical advisories regarding the braking system and suspension. The transition from a significant failure in early 2025 to a pass in 2026 suggests that critical issues were addressed, yet the components are now showing accelerated degradation. The recorded mileage of 44,820 miles over four years averages to approximately 11,200 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK road use patterns for a luxury SUV. There is a notable gap in testing data between the January 2025 and February 2026 tests, during which the vehicle covered over 13,000 miles. This rapid accumulation immediately following the January 2025 failure for dense blue smoke and a malfunction engine light at 31,684 miles points to potential engine management issues that required immediate intervention before the subsequent test. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly, as the February 2026 test flagged both front and rear discs as pitted or scored alongside thinning rear pads. The presence of fluctuating brakes on both axles suggests warped rotors or uneven pad material, which will soon necessitate replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance. Furthermore, the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint with play indicates the start of suspension wear that will likely lead to knocking noises and compromised handling if not replaced promptly. The January 2025 advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre worn on the inner edge suggests a previous alignment issue or worn camber bush. This should be verified by checking the current set of tyres for even wear across the tread. Given the previous failure for blue smoke and an engine malfunction light, the buyer should also monitor for any oil consumption or recurring warning lights to ensure the underlying mechanical cause of the failure was fully rectified rather than merely masked.
