2021 Land Rover Discovery Sprt Rdyn SE P300E A 1.5L Hybrid electric · LC71 UJO

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 22 October 2025 at 25,003 miles returning a completely clean pass with zero defects recorded. This is a positive shift from the previous test on 6 November 2024 at 18,332 miles, where the tester flagged a light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber. The fact that this advisory did not recur or escalate in the subsequent test suggests the component either self-resolved or was addressed, indicating attentive ownership during that period. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2021-registered vehicle, averaging just over 5,000 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test and the October 2025 test, the vehicle covered approximately 6,671 miles in just under eleven months, which is a reasonable rate for regular use. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded data, and the mileage progression appears consistent with genuine, steady light use rather than long periods of inactivity or clocking concerns. Despite the clean recent result, the earlier shock absorber advisory warrants a physical inspection of the front suspension. A buyer should check for uneven damping response, visible oil weeping on the shock body, and uneven tyre wear patterns that could indicate a lingering damping issue. The Discovery Sport's air suspension system, where fitted, should also be cycled through its ride height settings to confirm correct operation and compressor health. Given the low annual mileage, the underbody and subframe should be examined carefully for surface corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and brake pipe runs, as short-trip use can accelerate moisture-related corrosion compared to higher-mileage vehicles that generate more sustained heat. Brake discs and pads should be measured for thickness and condition, as infrequent driving can lead to disc corrosion and uneven pad deposition that a single clean MOT does not rule out.
