2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · MA19 AWX

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 5 May 2026 at 43,499 miles, with advisories on both front inner brake discs showing wear, pitting, and scoring — a direct continuation of a pattern seen since 2022. The maintenance trend is neither improving nor stabilising; brake disc degradation is persistent and progressing, with rear discs flagged in 2023 and now front discs in 2026, suggesting braking system wear is outpacing routine inspection or replacement cycles. Mileage accumulation is consistent with average annual use — approximately 6,200 miles per year — with no unusual spikes or long gaps between tests. The interval between the 2025 and 2026 tests was exactly one year, and prior tests occurred at regular 12-month intervals, indicating regular compliance with statutory requirements. There is no evidence of odometer tampering or erratic usage; the progression from 19,566 miles in 2022 to 43,499 miles in 2026 aligns with typical owner behaviour for a vehicle of this age and type. A buyer must inspect the front brake discs and calipers in person, as the advisories indicate surface degradation that may soon require replacement. The rear discs, flagged in 2023, were not mentioned in 2024 or 2025, suggesting they may have been replaced, but the new front disc issues imply the same neglect could extend to the entire braking system. Tyre wear was noted in 2024 on the rear inner edges, a sign of possible misalignment or worn suspension components — this should be checked alongside the condition of the rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and wheel bearings. No structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures have been recorded, which is positive, but the recurring brake disc advisories point to a lack of proactive maintenance rather than a design flaw. The vehicle is roadworthy now, but the cost of imminent brake work and potential alignment correction should be factored into any purchase decision.
