2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · SM19 LKK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-02-03 at 83,637 miles, confirming it is currently roadworthy. However, the test flagged worn suspension bushes on both front arms, a development not seen in any prior inspection since 2022. This indicates a clear deterioration in front suspension integrity over the last four years, moving from a clean record to a structural concern that, while not yet causing excessive movement, demands attention before it compromises handling or safety. The mileage progression is consistent with average annual use—roughly 12,000 miles per year—with no unusual gaps or spikes. The vehicle was tested annually without exception, and the jump from 66,664 miles in January 2025 to 83,637 miles in February 2026 reflects normal usage over 13 months. There is no evidence of odometer tampering or prolonged inactivity. The absence of defects between 2023 and 2025 suggests the vehicle was well maintained during its earlier years, making the recent suspension findings more significant as a new trend rather than accumulated neglect. A buyer must inspect the front suspension bushes in person, as the wear is likely advanced enough to require replacement. These are not minor consumables; worn bushes on both sides point to either poor-quality parts, lack of lubrication, or underlying alignment issues that may have accelerated degradation. The rear brake discs were flagged in 2022 as worn and pitted, and while they passed, their condition at 55,000 miles suggests they were nearing end-of-life then—given the current mileage, they may now be near or past their service limit. The tyre nail from 2022 was repaired, but the tyres themselves should be checked for age-related cracking and remaining tread depth, as they are likely original or close to it. No corrosion or structural damage was ever recorded, but underbody inspection is still advised given the vehicle’s age and off-road potential.
