2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · TY55 ASH

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently clean record across the last five inspections. The most recent test conducted on 19 March 2026 at 80,907 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance profile. This continued streak of perfect passes suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical wear-and-tear before it could result in a formal test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. A significant gap in records exists between September 2022 at 57,712 miles and November 2023 at 69,381 miles, where the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles in fourteen months. Since then, the usage has remained steadier, with roughly 8,000 miles recorded between the annual annual tests. This regular usage pattern is generally beneficial for preventing seal degradation and brake corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity in Land Rover components. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on the inherent weak points of the Discovery Sport model. Given the 80,000-mile mark, the buyer must verify the condition of the air suspension system for any signs of leaking or sagging, as the MOT does not fully test pneumatic integrity. The inspector should also check the front control arm bushings for tearing and examine the brake discs for excessive scoring or uneven wear. The lack of recorded advisories for structural corrosion suggests the chassis remains in good condition, but a close look at the underbody remains a standard precaution for a vehicle of this age.
