Our Verdict

This is a well-maintained example of a 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport that we can recommend with confidence. Its unbroken five-year MOT pass record with no defects suggests a carefully looked-after vehicle, though a pre-purchase inspection is still sensible given the model's complexity.

Given the clean MOT history with no advisories or failures across five consecutive tests, this Discovery Sport appears to have been maintained to a good standard. However, you should still request full service history to confirm routine maintenance such as timing belt, oil changes, and diesel particulate filter (DPF) care has been carried out on schedule for the 2.0-litre diesel engine. Negotiate on price using the fact that no aggregate reliability data exists for this model, meaning you cannot benchmark it against fleet-wide trends, and consider a third-party inspection for peace of mind. As a 2016 premium SUV, check for evidence of software updates and recall completion, which Land Rover models of this era occasionally require.

The 1999cc diesel engine in this Discovery Sport typically returns moderate fuel economy for a vehicle of this size, though exact figures are not provided in the data. As a 2016 diesel SUV, it will fall into a higher VED tax band than smaller cars, and insurance group ratings for Discovery Sports are generally mid-to-high, reflecting repair costs and value. No specific maintenance cost data is available, but annual running costs for a diesel Land Rover of this type commonly range between £1,200 and £1,600 including fuel, tax, insurance, and servicing. Typical maintenance for the 2.0 diesel includes DPF and AdBlue system checks if equipped.

The MOT history shows no failures or defect records across any of the five tests between 2021 and 2025, so there are no specific failure types from the record to investigate. Nonetheless, on this 2016 Discovery Sport you should inspect the diesel emissions system, suspension bushes, and brake components, as these are general wear points on higher-mileage SUVs even when MOTs pass cleanly. Verify the grey paintwork and body panels for corrosion or accident repair, and confirm the odometer reading of 78,820 miles matches service stamps and the recorded MOT mileages of 69,144 (2024) and 59,417 (2023).

The grey 2016 Discovery Sport (MH14CAT) has covered 78,820 miles as of its most recent MOT in December 2025, averaging roughly 7,900 miles per year since first registration in May 2016. Every MOT from 2021 to 2025 has passed with no defects recorded, indicating consistent upkeep. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so the assessment rests entirely on this vehicle's clean individual history.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Land Rover Discovery Sport, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's clean test history.
