2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · WH14 TEO

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status following a failed MOT test on 26 March 2026 at 122,457 miles. While the previous four tests indicated a clean record with no defects, the most recent failure suggests a mechanical or emissions issue that has not yet been addressed. Because the record shows no specific defects for the latest failure, the vehicle's current legal status is compromised until a re-test is conducted and the specific cause of failure is identified. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,600 miles per year over its nine-year life. There is a significant surge in usage between October 2022 at 74,464 miles and February 2024 at 91,522 miles, where the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles in just sixteen months. The rate accelerated further recently, with another 15,600 miles logged since the 2025 test. This consistent high mileage places substantial strain on the drivetrain and complex suspension components typical of the Land Rover Discovery Sport. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the air suspension and bushings, as high-mileage examples often suffer from rubber degradation in these areas. The lack of recorded advisories in previous years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, suggesting that wear may have been overlooked or replaced proactively without documentation. Particular attention should be paid to brake corrosion on the calipers and the structural integrity of the underbody, given the recent failure which indicates a sudden development in mechanical requirements.
