2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · LE12 JUE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection indicates a sudden decline in proactive maintenance. While the car passed its test in February 2026 at 86,215 miles, the tester flagged very worn rear inner brake pads and a cracked offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. This follows a period of clean records between 2023 and 2025, suggesting that consumable components are being neglected until reaching failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical light-use vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. The record shows a steady increase from 36,569 miles in March 2020 to 86,215 miles in early 2026. There is a notable gap of over 17,000 miles between January 2024 and February 2026, which represents a higher rate of usage that likely contributed to the accelerated wear observed on the latest braking system and tyres compared to the previous intervals. A buyer must focus heavily on the braking system, as the history shows recurring issues with pitted or scored discs and thin pads across 2021, 2022, and 2026. The presence of thin inner pads in the latest test suggests potential sticking caliper pistons or uneven wear patterns that require a physical inspection of the rear hardware and discs. Given the age and model of this Discovery Sport, a thorough check of the suspension bushings and signs of structural corrosion is also essential, as these were not highlighted in the record but are common points of failure at this mileage.
