2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · ST17 ACJ

The Discovery Sport presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 55,253 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual passes from March 2023 to March 2025 likewise noted no advisories. The only blemish is a failed test on 27 March 2024 at 49,039 miles that recorded no defects, immediately followed by a pass on 28 March 2024 at the same mileage, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,139 miles against the vehicle's nine-year age, a typical figure for this class. The odometer moved from 45,192 miles at the March 2023 test to 49,039 miles in March 2024, then 52,689 miles in March 2025 and 55,253 miles in March 2026, showing consistent low yearly use with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, offering no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across the record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension components, brake discs and calipers, and underbody for corrosion given the vehicle's age and Land Rover's known susceptibility to chassis rust. The same-day fail and pass in March 2024 warrants a check of the test centre's notes to confirm no suppressed advisory existed. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the history, so previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. The low mileage implies lighter wear, but rubber components such as suspension bushes and door seals may still degrade with time rather than distance.
