2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · LG18 APV

The 2026‑03‑31 MOT record shows the Land Rover Discovery Sport is presently not roadworthy; the same day’s test documented excessive front suspension ball joint wear, rear brake pads measuring 1.1 mm, and an inoperative engine malfunction indicator, confirming a clear worsening trend after earlier passes in 2025 and 2024. Mileage has risen from 30,878 mi in February 2021 to 78,042 mi by March 2026, averaging about 9,750 mi per year, which aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. However, the interval between the 2024‑03‑28 test at 57,645 mi and the 2026‑03‑31 test at 78,042 mi represents an accumulation of 20,397 mi in just two years, indicating increasingly heavy use in recent years and leaving limited scope for long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension ball joint and associated bushes, verify the condition of front and rear brake discs and pads, confirm that the engine MIL functions correctly, inspect the windscreen chip for propagation, and check for any underlying structural rust or previous repair work, especially given the recurring brake wear and suspension defects noted across the 2022‑2026 series.
