2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · PL17 AUP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the car passed its most recent test on January 2026 at 76,601 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior at nearly the same mileage. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of allowing consumable components to deteriorate until they reach the point of failure. Although the owner addresses the issues flagged by the tester, the recent failure revealed a significant mechanical fault involving a fractured offside front coil spring. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of 6,600 miles between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 6,676 miles recorded between January 2025 and January 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle is not sitting for long periods, though the age of the rubber components is evident in the perishing and cracking noted on the tyres across multiple test years. A buyer must focus inspection on the braking system and suspension geometry. The record consistently flags worn and pitted discs alongside thin pads across the last three years, suggesting the brakes are only replaced when they fail an inspection. The fractured coil spring in early 2026 indicates that suspension components may be reaching the end of their fatigue life due to. Furthermore, the repeated reports of perishing and cracking tyres in 2026 suggest that the rubber compound is aged despite having remaining tread depth, which necessitates a thorough check of all four sidewalls for structural integrity.
