2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · MA65 LLE

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 9 January 2026 at 138,623 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of five consecutive tests without a single failure or advisory, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,862 miles per year. Usage has remained steady over the last five years, though the interval between 10 January 2025 and 9 January 2026 saw the highest single-year increase of 12,739 miles. Such consistent, high-mileage use typically indicates the car has spent most of its life on long-distance journeys, which is generally less taxing on the engine than frequent short urban trips. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of components that do not always trigger an immediate MOT failure. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade under the weight of a Discovery Sport over 130,000 miles. Checking for any signs of oil leaks around the turbocharger and inspecting the brake discs for lip wear or scoring is advisable. The absence of structural corrosion or brake binding in the records is a positive indicator. However, given the mileage, the service history should be verified to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals. Focus the physical inspection on the drivetrain and any signs of wear in the four-wheel-drive system to ensure the mechanical integrity matches the clean MOT data.
