2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · ML66 AEN

The vehicle shows signs of a declining maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT in September 2025 at 86,112 miles introducing several structural and consumable concerns. While the vehicle maintained a clean record between late 2023 and late 2024, the latest inspection flagged corrosion on both front Macpherson struts and multiple tyre defects, including cracking, perishing, and uneven wear. The presence of a TPMS light on the dashboard further suggests that electronic monitoring systems or tyre pressures require immediate attention. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical ten-year usage pattern, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 40,038 miles in October 2019 to 86,112 miles in September 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing intervals, though the vehicle covered roughly 14,000 miles between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests, which is a slight increase compared to previous years. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension system due to the recorded corrosion on the Macpherson struts. Although the tester noted the corrosion was not yet seriously weakened, this is a progressive issue that can lead to more costly structural repairs if left unaddressed. The recurring issues with tyres, specifically cracking and perishing, suggest that the rubber is ageing or the vehicle has experienced periods of standing, which can lead to sidewall degradation regardless of tread depth. The braking history shows a pattern of wear and surface corrosion on the rear discs and pads, particularly noted in 2019 and 2021. While the 2024 test showed no defects, the recent tyre and suspension advisories indicate that the vehicle's consumables are currently in a state of decline. An inspection of the braking system, specifically looking for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, is advisable to ensure the previous issues have been fully resolved.
