2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · MR04 RLY

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑06‑10 at 81 846 miles with no recorded defects, confirming it is currently roadworthy. The maintenance trend is clearly improving; after a series of failures in 2020‑2024—including headlamp aim faults, suspension arm wear, brake pad depletion and wiper malfunctions—the last two annual tests have been clean, indicating the identified issues have been remedied. Mileage accumulation shows a steady pattern. From 31 612 miles in June 2020 to 81 846 miles in June 2026 the car added roughly 50 234 miles over six years, averaging about 8 400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a nine‑year‑old vehicle. The record includes several rapid retests (e.g., 2020‑06‑09 to 2020‑06‑11, 2023‑05‑24 to 2023‑05‑26, 2024‑07‑02 to 2024‑07‑08) but no anomalous mileage jumps, suggesting consistent ownership and regular service intervals. A buyer should inspect the rear tyre condition closely; both rear tyres were noted as worn close to the legal limit in July 2024, so tread depth and edge wear must be verified. The rear suspension arm pin or bush was flagged as excessively worn in 2024, so check for play or corrosion in the suspension mounting points. Brake components deserve scrutiny: front discs showed moderate wear in 2020, front pads were below 1.5 mm thickness, and rear pads were thin in 2022, so assess disc condition, pad thickness and the wear‑indicator functionality. The headlamp aim has been a recurring fault; verify beam alignment and bulb seating. Finally, test the windscreen wipers and the tyre‑pressure monitoring system, as these were repeatedly non‑compliant, and look for any signs of structural rust around the rear bulkhead or underbody that may have developed since the earlier mileage‑related stresses.
