2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · SY67 WDC

The 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 14 February 2026 , with no defects recorded at 66,311 miles. This suggests the vehicle has passed all mandatory safety and emissions checks without fail over the past 12 months, though the lack of advisories or faults does not preclude underlying wear that hasn’t yet reached MOT failure thresholds. The only anomaly is the duplicate test date in February 2024 , where the vehicle failed at 41,187 miles but passed the retest two days later at 41,189 miles—an unusually short interval that implies either a minor oversight or a quick resolution of a non-critical issue. Mileage progression shows a steady but typical accumulation for its age, averaging around 7,368 miles per year since 2022. The largest gap between tests occurred between October 2022 (31,150 miles) and February 2024 (41,189 miles) , a span of 18 months with 10,039 miles logged—slightly above the annual average but not alarming. The retest in February 2024 at nearly identical mileage suggests the vehicle was driven briefly between the initial failure and retest, which could indicate either a rushed inspection or a minor, easily corrected fault. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, ruling out severe neglect. Given the absence of recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise suspension inspection , particularly the air suspension system (common to Discovery Sport models), for leaks, uneven ride height, or degraded bushes. The rear brakes warrant scrutiny, as the 2024 failure—though resolved—implies potential for binding or worn components, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Exhaust emissions should be checked for leaks or catalytic converter efficiency, as the 2024 retest passed without comment. Structural corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and underbody should be examined, particularly if the vehicle has been parked in wet or salty conditions. The tyre tread depth and condition are also critical, as the lack of advisories in recent tests does not guarantee they haven’t degraded unevenly. Finally, verify the air suspension pump and control module for error codes, as these are often silent failures until they cause handling or ride issues.
