2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · PE68 PBY

The 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport presents a stable and favourable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 20 January 2026 at 48,238 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the available history the vehicle cleared every examination without advisories, indicating consistent upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. The single failure entry on 23 August 2022 carries no listed defects and was superseded by a pass on the same day at 27,334 miles, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages close to 6,030 miles against an eight-year lifespan, a typical figure for this model age. The records show smooth progression: 27,334 miles in August 2022, 35,693 by September 2023, 42,908 by September 2024, and 48,238 by January 2026. No abrupt accumulation or prolonged standing gaps appear; the owner spaced tests roughly yearly with modest seasonal variation. Such low yearly use suggests light duty cycles, though extended idle periods remain possible and were not captured by the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the Discovery Sport's known susceptibility to corrosion and consumable wear even under light use. The clean MOT trail offers no flagged structural integrity concerns, yet underside rust and binding calipers can develop unnoticed between tests. Verify the 2022 duplicate entry with DVSA to confirm no omitted defect sheet exists. Pre-purchase checks should include exhaust emissions under cold start and a read of live fault codes, since the MOT record alone cannot expose intermittent drivetrain faults. The evidence implies a carefully maintained vehicle, but low mileage does not exempt it from age-related degradation of seals and flexible components.
