2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · SM16 DSY

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with no significant mechanical deterioration evident from the recent MOT history. The most recent test on 28 May 2025 at 89,735 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a successful inspection in June 2024 at 82,885 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a consistent state of roadworthiness over the last few years. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age. Between June 2022 and May 2025, the car covered approximately 23,402 miles, which aligns with the typical annual usage for a ten-year-old Land Rover. The data shows a steady progression in mileage, indicating regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity. A single failure recorded on 08 May 2024 at 82,852 miles was resolved quickly, as the vehicle passed its subsequent retest just weeks later, showing no signs of a recurring or worsening mechanical trend. While the MOT records are clean, a physical inspection should focus on components that the MOT testing regime does not always scrutinise in depth. Given the mileage and the vehicle's age, a buyer should check for signs of corrosion on the underbody and suspension mounting points. The lack of advisories regarding brake discs or suspension bushes is a positive indicator, but these components should be inspected for wear during a hands-on assessment. The driver should also verify the service history to complement the MOT data. While the MOT history confirms the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, it does not account for oil changes or the replacement of timing belts or water pumps. Given the steady mileage pattern, ensuring that all consumables and fluids have been managed according to the manufacturer's schedule remains the most critical step for long-term reliability.
