Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this black Discovery Sport, your primary focus should be the steering system. The 2025 MOT failure specifically noted play in the nearside front steering rack inner joint; ensure you test the vehicle for any wandering, vibrations, or unusual noises through the steering wheel at various speeds to confirm this was professionally rectified.
Secondly, check the condition of all four tyres. The previous failure involved both nearside front and offside front tyres having exposed cords or deep cuts. While the 2026 MOT was clear, a visual inspection of the tread depth and sidewall integrity is essential. Finally, ask for evidence of recent servicing, as the 2023 MOT recorded a low oil level, which is a point of concern for the 1999cc diesel engine.
As a 2.0L diesel Euro 6 compliant vehicle, this model is generally suitable for most UK low-emission zones. Fuel economy for the Discovery Sport typically sits in the mid-30s to low 40s MPG depending on driving style and load.
Tax and insurance will vary based on the specific insurance group, but as a higher-spec R-Dyn trim, expect mid-range insurance premiums. Maintenance costs for Land Rover products can be higher than mainstream brands, particularly regarding suspension and steering components. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,400-£1,800, including fuel, tax, and routine maintenance.
Inspect the steering rack and associated joints carefully. Since the vehicle failed on 'play in steering rack inner joint(s)' in 2025, any lingering tightness or looseness in the steering response is a red flag. Ensure the steering feels linear and centered.
Check the tyres thoroughly. The 2025 failure was quite severe, involving exposed ply/cords on the nearside front and a deep cut on the offside front. Look for any signs of uneven wear or recent replacements. Additionally, check the engine oil level and look for any signs of leaks around the turbo or injectors, given the 'oil level low' advisory in 2023.
This 2020 Land Rover Discovery Sport R-Dyn S D A has covered 62,489 miles since its registration in September 2020. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a failure in August 2025 due to steering rack issues and tyre defects. The most recent test in August 2026 passed with no defects recorded at 62,489 miles.
