2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · VN67 KGP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in October 2025 at 91,000 miles. However, the overall maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The car failed two days prior to that 2025 test with multiple critical safety defects, including missing wheel fixings and worn rear brakes. While these issues were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the pattern of failure suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when forced by the MOT tester. The mileage profile is relatively consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the data between the March 2022 test at 33,639 miles and the March 2024 test at 83,594 miles, representing an accumulation of nearly 50,000 miles in just two years. This rapid burst of usage explains the heavy wear observed on consumables during the 2024 failure, where both the front brake discs and pads were found to be beyond limits. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and wheel assemblies, as the record shows recurring failures for pads and worn discs. The 2025 failure specifically highlighted missing wheel fixings on both front wheels, which is a serious oversight that often points to poor attention to basic vehicle maintenance. Given the high-mileage interval between the last two sets of tests, the suspension bushings and coil springs should be checked for premature wear or cracking, as these components endure significant stress on the Discovery Sport platform at this mileage bracket.
