2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · LJ16 AFD

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-06-16 MOT at 57,517 miles recording no defects. Since the 2023-06-17 test, all subsequent assessments have passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The 2022-06-25 failure at 38,992 miles is noted but lacks recorded defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor unresolved issue. However, the absence of recurring faults in later tests implies the problem was addressed or was non-critical. The mileage pattern reflects low annual usage, averaging 5,752 miles per year over 10 years, which is below the typical rate for this age. The MOTs are spaced approximately 12 months apart, with a 13-month gap between the 2022-06-25 tests. This suggests regular but not frequent inspections, which aligns with the vehicle’s low mileage. The 2024-05-25 test at 50,110 miles and 2023-06-17 test at 44,950 miles show steady progression, with no signs of accelerated wear in the recorded data. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can sometimes mask age-related degradation. Check for corrosion in underbody components, particularly around the exhaust and chassis, given the vehicle’s 10-year age. While no brake-related issues were recorded, verify the condition of brake discs and calipers, as binding or uneven wear could develop over time. The absence of advisories in the MOT history is positive, but a pre-purchase inspection should confirm the integrity of structural elements and fluid systems, which are not assessed in standard MOTs.
