2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · LS65 WEU

The vehicle demonstrates a clean and consistent roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT test on 28 February 2026 at 82,426 miles passing without any defects or advisories. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a level sufficient to meet current DVSA standards, though the lack of advisories in any test implies no pre-existing issues were flagged for attention. The most notable anomaly is the duplicate entry for March 2024, where the vehicle appears to have been tested twice at the same mileage—one passing and one failing—though both records claim no defects. This discrepancy may warrant clarification, as it could indicate an administrative error or a genuine oversight in the testing process. Beyond this, the absence of recurring failures or advisories across five tests spanning nearly three years indicates a stable maintenance pattern, though no record provides insight into service intervals or non-MOT-related repairs. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 7,500 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no prolonged gaps in mileage that would suggest extended periods of disuse, nor are there abrupt jumps that would indicate aggressive driving or neglect. The most significant interval between tests is between February 2023 (51,357 miles) and March 2024 (69,493 miles), a span of roughly 14 months and 18,000 miles—well within the 12-month MOT cycle but still longer than the average 10-12,000-mile intervals seen in many well-maintained vehicles. This suggests the vehicle may not have been serviced as frequently as recommended, though it has not yet shown signs of accelerated wear in the MOT record. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely checked during an MOT. The suspension—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for uneven wear or fluid leaks, as these are critical for handling and ride quality but often fall outside MOT scrutiny. Brake systems, including calipers, pads, and discs, warrant close attention, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation in recent years. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, should be assessed for corrosion, as Land Rover models of this era are prone to rust in these areas. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or damage, as emissions-related failures are not uncommon in older vehicles even when passing MOT tests. While the record offers no red flags, these areas are where deferred maintenance could manifest as costly issues.
