2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport SE D Auto 2.0L Diesel · MT69 HCC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred brake system repairs. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 43,298 miles passed, the tester flagged pitted front inner brake discs and thin nearside front pads. This follows a failure in October 2024 where the vehicle was rejected for thin front pads and worn wipers, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical faults upon an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-useage family vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 12,000 miles between the October 2023 test at 27,322 miles and the October 2024 test at 39,303 miles. This period of higher usage correlates with the appearance of wear components, such as the anti-roll bar ball joints and brake components, which were not present during the 2022 test at 17,840 miles. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as both anti-roll bar ball joints were flagged for play in 2024. Although these may have been replaced, the recurring nature of faults suggests potential wear on rubber bushings. The documented history of worn and pitted discs across both front and rear axles between 2023 and 2025 indicates the braking system is nearing the end of its service life. You should verify the current thickness of all brake pads and check for uneven wear or sticking calipers to ensure no immediate major expenditure is required post-purchase.
