Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
Given the mileage of 91,772, you should prioritize checking the full service history to ensure oil changes have been performed at the correct intervals for this 2.0L diesel engine. Negotiate based on the fact that the vehicle has been used heavily for long-distance driving, which may mean components like the suspension or clutch are nearing the end of their typical service life.
Specifically, ask for evidence of recent brake replacements, as the 2023 and 2024 MOT records both flagged brake pads and discs as worn or pitted. Ensure that the windscreen wiper issue noted in the May 2025 failure has been rectified and that the wiper motor is functioning smoothly.
As a 2.0L diesel, running costs will be influenced by your annual mileage. While diesel engines can be efficient on motorways, the high mileage on this specific unit suggests it may have been used for commuting or long trips.
Expect moderate to high insurance groups typical for a Land Rover, and factor in the cost of diesel fuel. Maintenance costs for this model can be higher than average, particularly regarding brake components and potential emissions system upkeep, which are common for diesel SUVs of this age.
Focus your inspection on the braking system; the MOT history explicitly mentions worn brake pads in 2024 and pitted/corroded brake discs in 2023. Check that the new pads and discs are of good quality and that there is no excessive vibration when braking.
Additionally, verify the condition of the windscreen wipers and the wiper motor following the 2025 failure. Inspect the tyres carefully, as a nail was recorded in the nearside front tyre in 2023. Finally, check the under trays, which were noted as being fitted during the 2023 MOT, to ensure they are secure and not damaged.
This 2017 silver Land Rover Discovery Sport has covered 91,772 miles since its first registration in September 2017. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear-related issues, including brake components and windscreen wipers, alongside a recent failure in May 2025. Compared to the aggregate model data of 8,651 average annual miles, this vehicle has been driven considerably more than its peers.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 86.5% MOT pass rate, with the most common failure reasons being tyres, brake pads, and exhausts.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Ingenium Timing Chain Stretch (The "Slap")(Serious)
The 2.0 diesel engine suffers from premature timing chain wear, often called "timing chain slap" as the chain stretches and hits the guides. This is primarily caused by oil dilution from interrupted DPF regenerations thinning the lubricant.
- Oil Dilution & Early Service Warning(Serious)
Interrupted DPF regenerations cause diesel to leak into the oil sump. When calculated dilution reaches 6% to 7%, the "Service Required" warning is triggered, often as early as 6,000–8,000 miles regardless of the official 21k-mile interval.
- Panoramic Roof and Boot Water Ingress(Moderate)
Blocked drains and poor sealing can lead to wet carpets and electrical faults.
