2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · SH66 TWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on October 7, 2025, at 110,038 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive repairs, evidenced by a failure for a leaking nearside rear shock absorber during that same test. While the most recent inspection showed no active defects, the presence of suspension-related failures suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach a functional limit rather than through a proactive preventative schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 85,298 miles in October 2023 to 97,565 miles in October 2024, and reaching the current figure of 110,038 miles by late 2025. This regular interval suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which places predictable wear on heavy-duty components typical of the Land Rover platform. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system. The failure of the nearside rear shock absorber in 2025 indicates that the damping components may be nearing the end of their service life. Furthermore, the previously twisted offside front brake hose recorded in 2023 points to potential poor installation or mechanical interference, which warrants a visual check for any rubber chafing or internal hose degradation. The 2024 advisory regarding uneven wear on front tyres also suggests that alignment angles should be verified to prevent premature failure of future tyre sets.
