Our Verdict
This 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport diesel is a reasonable buy for the right price, but budget for rear brake maintenance given its only MOT failure was on that axle. Its consistent pass record since 2022 shows it has been well looked after, though the lack of model aggregate data means you should rely on a personal inspection.
Ask to see the full service history for this red 2016 Discovery Sport, paying particular attention to evidence that the rear brakes were properly renewed after the August 2022 MOT failure and that they have been inspected since. Because there is no model-wide reliability data supplied, a pre-purchase inspection by a Land Rover specialist is strongly advised to check for any hidden faults not captured by the MOT. Use the clean recent MOT record as leverage when negotiating, but factor in that diesel SUVs of this age can carry a price premium that may not reflect their running costs.
As a 2.0-litre diesel registered in September 2016, this Discovery Sport will fall into a higher VED band than smaller cars, though exact tax depends on the current rate for pre-April 2017 diesels; insurance groups for this model are typically mid-to-high. Diesel economy on a Discovery Sport is reasonable for its size, often in the 40-50 mpg range, but real-world use with short trips will be lower. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and typical maintenance are around £1,400-£1,800 given the vehicle's age and SUV classification.
The only MOT failure on record was on 2022-08-29 at 66,186 miles, citing nearside and offside rear brake discs worn but not excessively, nearside rear pads wearing thin, and offside rear inner pads down to the wear indicator; confirm the replacement quality and that no caliper issues remain. With the most recent test in September 2025 showing no defects at 83,822 miles, visually check the rear brakes again as they will have covered over 17,000 miles since the last full check. As no aggregate model data is provided, also inspect the diesel emissions system, suspension bushes and underbody corrosion typical of a 2016 UK-registered 4x4, and verify the red bodywork for accident repair.
WF66AAK is a September 2016 red 2.0-litre diesel Discovery Sport with 83,822 miles recorded at its latest MOT in September 2025. The MOT history shows four consecutive passes with no defects and a single failure in August 2022 for rear brake wear, which was promptly corrected and passed days later. At just under 84,000 miles for a near-10-year-old SUV, the mileage is in line with typical UK use. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so condition must be judged on its individual history and inspection.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Land Rover Discovery Sport, so this vehicle's individual history must be used as the primary reliability indicator.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Ingenium Timing Chain Stretch (The "Slap")(Serious)
The 2.0 diesel engine suffers from premature timing chain wear, often called "timing chain slap" as the chain stretches and hits the guides. This is primarily caused by oil dilution from interrupted DPF regenerations thinning the lubricant.
- Oil Dilution & Early Service Warning(Serious)
Interrupted DPF regenerations cause diesel to leak into the oil sump. When calculated dilution reaches 6% to 7%, the "Service Required" warning is triggered, often as early as 6,000–8,000 miles regardless of the official 21k-mile interval.
- Panoramic Roof and Boot Water Ingress(Moderate)
Blocked drains and poor sealing can lead to wet carpets and electrical faults.
