2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · OV65 AAJ

The Discovery Sport presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the August 2025 pass at 81,063 miles where the tester logged only a cosmetic rear registration plate defect. Prior tests from November 2024 at 76,672 miles and November 2023 at 69,519 miles also returned passes with no mechanical failures. The upkeep pattern shows no worsening faults across the recorded span. Recorded mileage sits at 81,063 against an eleven-year life, equating to roughly 7,369 miles per year and typical for the age. The gap between the November 2024 test at 76,672 miles and the August 2025 test at 81,063 miles covers only 4,391 miles in nine months, suggesting lighter recent use. Earlier, the vehicle covered 7,505 miles between the November 2022 and November 2023 tests, a consistent annual rate with no abrupt accumulation or standing gaps. The November 2022 record requires attention: the car failed at 62,014 miles on an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp and thin front brake pads, both cleared on the same-day retest. That MIL fault points to a past engine management issue the previous owner resolved promptly rather than ignored. Front brake pads were already wearing thin at that date, and no later brake advisories appear, implying consumables were addressed. A buyer should still verify the front brake disc condition and caliper operation given the 2022 pad wear, and inspect the nearside and offside front outer tyres for edge wear as flagged in the 2023 test at 69,519 miles. The repeated rear plate deterioration across 2023 and 2025 is a minor item but signals the car sits outdoors. No suspension, corrosion, or structural integrity defects appear in the record, which reflects reasonable care for a 2015 Land Rover.
