2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport Black Mhev A 2.0L Petrol · OO04 BAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT history indicates a period of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While the car passed its test in May 2026 at 30,245 miles, it failed just one day prior at 30,238 miles due to multiple safety-critical defects. The trend shows a failure involving structural tyre damage and thinning brake components, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when necessary to pass the legal test requirement. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-use profile, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 18,818 miles in May 2024 to 24,248 miles in May 2025, finally reaching 30,245 miles in the most recent test. This relatively low annual mileage generally limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but the presence of perishing tyres and defective wipers suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, leading to rubber degradation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the 2026 failure highlighted a structural bulge on the nearside front and a deep cut on the offside rear. These issues indicate impact damage that can lead to a sudden blowout. Furthermore, the thin rear brake pads noted in the May 2026 advisory require a check of the discs for uneven scoring or excessive wear. Given the previous failure related to the offside front items being obscured in 2024, the suspension bushings and bushes should be inspected for leaks or play to ensure no hidden mechanical faults were overlooked during previous inspections.
