2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · NU68 CWX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its last four annual MOT tests without any failures. The most recent test conducted in September 2024 at 74,725 miles resulted in a single advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit with edge wear. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle meets minimum safety standards, though it suggests that components are reaching the end of their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 37,727 miles and September 2024 at 74,725 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 37,000 miles, showing a steady usage profile rather than extreme mileage or long periods of inactivity. This regular use is generally beneficial for Land Rover components, as it prevents seal degradation and brake caliper issues often associated with low-mileage, frequently stationary vehicles. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension geometry given the recurring tyre wear patterns noted in the 2021, 2022, and 2024 tests. The presence of edge wear on multiple tyres over several years suggests a persistent alignment issue, worn suspension bushes, or worn-out control arm ball. A physical inspection of the front suspension and rear bushes is necessary to determine if a mechanical rectification is required. Furthermore, the 2021 advisory regarding undertrays and engine covers obscuring components warrants a thorough check of the chassis to ensure no hidden structural corrosion or fluid leaks have remained undetected from the tester's line of sight.
