2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Petrol · MA68 ABK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a history of consecutive passes. The most recent test on August 7, 2024 at 52,322 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This clean performance across the last three years suggests that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 33,916 miles and the 2024 test at 52,322 miles, the car covered 18,406 miles, representing a steady usage rate. This relatively low mileage typically reduces the wear on high-stress drivetrain components and suspension compared to high-mileage examples, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common Discovery Sport areas of potential concern. The 2022 test at 43,066 miles noted that a child seat obstructed the inspection of the adult seatbelt, so a manual check of the belt tensioning mechanisms for fraying or damage is necessary. Given the vehicle's age, inspect the underbody for signs of corrosion on the chassis and check the suspension bushes for cracking, as these components do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical state of wear.
