2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · LJ16 ADB

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent September 2025 inspection at 73,148 miles. The 2023-08-12 failure at 58,083 miles is unexplained by defect details, but subsequent tests from 2023 to 2025 show consistent compliance with safety standards. No recurring mechanical or structural issues are evident in the recorded history, suggesting routine maintenance has addressed potential concerns. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,315 miles annually. Notable gaps include a 1,107-mile increase between the 2022-08-04 test (50,247 miles) and the 2023-08-12 failure (58,083 miles), followed by a 7,410-mile rise to 66,100 by 2024-09-14. These increments reflect steady usage without abrupt surges, though the 2023 failure remains unexplained. The absence of defects in later tests implies any issues were resolved promptly. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushings, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including caliper binding and disc wear, warrant inspection, as these are common wear points. Structural corrosion is not flagged in the records, but a thorough underbody check is advisable. The MOT history lacks specific mechanical failures, but the 2023 failure suggests potential oversight in addressing minor faults, which could indicate inconsistent maintenance practices.
