2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · LL66 KTP

This 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport has covered roughly 9,000 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. This mileage suggests a standard usage pattern rather than extreme heavy use or excessive periods of sitting idle, meaning wear on consumables should be relatively predictable. The most recent MOT from November 2025 was a pass, but the failure immediately preceding it reveals a worrying pattern regarding the braking system. In both late 2024 and late 2025, the vehicle failed due to issues with the rear brakes, specifically thinning pads and pitted or worn discs. The fact that the rear pads failed again only a year after the previous warning suggests that the braking components are being heavily used or are not being maintained proactively. There is also a recorded failure in December 2024 regarding an inoperative Engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). While the vehicle passed the subsequent MOT, any issue with the dashboard warning lights can indicate underlying electronic or sensor problems that may not have been fully resolved. The overall maintenance trend looks to be worsening or, at best, reactive rather than preventative. The recurring brake issues and the engine warning light fault suggest the owner tends to address problems only when they reach a failure threshold during an MOT. Before purchasing, you must personally inspect the condition of the rear brake discs and pads to ensure they have been properly replaced and not just patched up.
