Our Verdict
A highly attractive example of the Discovery Sport with a pristine MOT record and below-average mileage. It is a solid choice for those seeking a modern premium diesel SUV.
When inspecting this specific vehicle, verify that the service history is comprehensive, as the MOT records only show safety compliance rather than mechanical maintenance. Since this is a 4x2 model, ensure it has been used primarily for road driving, as it is not as capable for heavy off-roading.
Check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these are common reasons for failure across this model across the UK, despite this particular car having a clean record so far. Ask the owner about any recent software updates, which are common for modern Land Rover electronics.
The 2000cc diesel engine offers decent fuel economy for long-distance cruising, though buyers should expect higher consumption in heavy urban traffic. Tax bands and insurance groups for this model reflect its premium SUV status, typically sitting higher than budget alternatives.
Estimated annual running costs are between £1,200 and £1,600, accounting for fuel, tax, insurance, and routine wear-and-tear maintenance.
While the MOT history shows no defects, you should still inspect for signs of uneven tyre wear, which can indicate alignment issues common in the Discovery Sport. Pay close attention to the electronic systems and infotainment, as these are complex points of failure.
Given the mileage is just over 50,000 miles, check if the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been maintained regularly, as these engines can suffer if the car has been only used for short city trips.
This 2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport S D 4x2 sits at 52,661 miles, which is lower than the fleet average for its age. Its MOT history is exemplary, showing four consecutive passes with zero recorded defects or advisories since its first test in 2023. The 2.0L diesel engine and 4x2 configuration suggest a vehicle suited for road use.
The Discovery Sport has an 83.6% average MOT pass rate across the fleet, with common failures usually related to tyres, brakes, and lighting.
