2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · PY67 HZD

The vehicle shows signs of a worsening maintenance trend regarding its braking system. While the most recent MOT on 8 May 2025 at 78,484 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged significant wear across all four brake pads and noted that all four brake discs are worn, pitted, or scored. This follows a clean pass in February 2024 at 65,443 miles, indicating that the braking components have reached the end of their service life since the previous inspection. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered 78,484 miles, averaging roughly 9,800 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 33,253 miles in January 2021 to 78,484 miles in May 2025. There are no significant gaps in the record that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which generally helps prevent seized components or perished rubber seals. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system. Given the advisories from the May 2025 test, the vehicle requires immediate attention to the pads and discs to ensure optimal stopping performance and to prevent further damage to the calipers. The recurring mention of covers not being fully seen in tests between 2021 and 2023 suggests that certain light clusters or components may have aftermarket modifications or non-standard fittings that should be verified for compliance. Beyond the brakes, the history shows minor electrical and alignment issues in earlier years, such as the headlamp aim and bulb failures in 2021 and 2023. While these were resolved, the recent focus on heavily worn consumables suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where more frequent mechanical maintenance will be necessary. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and tyres would be a prudent step to complement the brake inspection.
