2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · ST13 ADY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 March 2026 at 84,797 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows improvement; the brake‑pad wear advisory from the March 2025 test at 73,800 miles has been cleared, the tyre‑wear warning from May 2023 at 43,015 miles is no longer present, and the wiper failure that caused a failure in May 2020 has been resolved. The latest test confirms the car meets current standards. Mileage accumulation has been uneven. Between 2020 and 2023 the vehicle added roughly 4.5 k miles per year, but the gap from May 2024 (50,336 miles) to March 2025 (73,800 miles) saw an increase of 23,464 miles in under ten months, and the period from March 2025 to March 2026 added another 10,997 miles. This recent surge pushes the average to about 9,422 miles per year, indicating heavier recent use and higher wear on consumables. The record is fairly complete with annual tests, though a six‑month COVID‑19 extension in May 2020 creates a brief data gap. A buyer should inspect the brake system for pad thickness and disc condition, as the 2025 thin‑pad advisory suggests wear may recur. Tyre condition is critical; the 2023 offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit, so check tread depth and even wear patterns for possible suspension or alignment issues. Test the wiper blades and washers, given the 2020 failure, and examine suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or excessive play. Finally, look for rust on the chassis, exhaust brackets and underbody, as the higher recent mileage may have accelerated corrosion in these areas.
