2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport Rdyn SE Mhev A 2.0L Petrol · LB21 KXJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 29,272 miles followed a failure just mile prior due to rear brake pads being below 1.5mm. While the vehicle passed, the tester flagged the nearside front and nearside rear brake discs as pitted and scored. This indicates that the braking system was neglected until it reached a point of failure, a pattern that repeats across multiple testing cycles. At five years old, the Land Rover has covered 29,272 miles, averaging approximately 5,854 miles per year. This low-usage profile often leads to specific issues such as surface corrosion on machined metal surfaces due to infrequent use. The record shows a gap of 6,000 miles between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 6,000 miles leading into the final test. While low mileage generally suggests less drivetrain wear, the periods of standing may have contributed to the observed degradation of rubber components and the premature wear noted on the tyres. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension system, as the 2024 test flagged oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber which may indicate an impending seal failure. Furthermore, the 2025 record noted that front undertrays prevented a full inspection of the suspension components, leaving potential damage or excessive wear on wish arms and bushes unverified. The recurring failures regarding brake pads and tyre tread depths suggest the previous owner only addressed these items when forced by a failure. A thorough check of the current brake disc condition and the age of all four tyres is essential to ensure no immediate expenditure is required.
