2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · SO68 ADZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 72,798 miles identified an oil leak out of or on the SCR pipe. While this was not excessive enough to cause a failure, it represents a new mechanical concern that was not present during the clean-sheet test in April 2025. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old Discovery Sport, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per annum. There is a significant jump in usage between October 2023 at 51,414 miles and October 2024 at 65,975 miles, representing over 14,000 miles covered in a single year. This period of higher intensity correlates with the appearance of multiple defects, specifically regarding suspension and tyre components recorded during the 2024 inspection. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension assembly. The October 2024 test at 65,975 miles flagged perished bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms, along with front tyres worn to the legal limit. While these were likely addressed, the recurring nature of tyre-related issues in 2022 and 2024 suggests a history of neglecting basic consumables until they reach failure. The recent oil leak on the SCR pipe requires a physical inspection to determine if it is a minor gasket failure or a more significant component issue that could lead to expensive exhaust repairs if left untreated.
