2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · RE16 FJF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 April 2025 at 118,058 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents mechanical or safety-related failures from reaching the testing stage. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per annum. Between the April 2021 test at 72,977 miles and the April 2025 test at 118,058 miles, the car covered 45,081 miles, showing a steady usage pattern without sudden spikes in mileage. This regularity often mitigates the risks associated with long periods of sitting or the accelerated wear seen in high-mileage outliers. The intervals between tests are also regular, reflecting a disciplined approach to the annual testing schedule. While the MOT record is clean, a high-mileage Discovery Sport requires a physical inspection of components not fully covered during testing. A buyer should scrutinise the air suspension system for signs of sagging or leaking, as these are common points of failure beyond 100,000 miles. Inspection of the front control arm bushes and bushings is also necessary, as the weight of the vehicle stresses these rubber components over time. Despite the lack of advisories, checking the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion and the condition of the brake discs and calipers remains essential to ensure no hidden wear has developed between tests.
