2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · WN16 LCF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 18 March 2026 at 42,991 miles passed without defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The preceding history shows no recurring faults or advisories, with every test—including the April 2025 retest—resulting in a pass. This suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the double test in early 2025 (a failure followed by an immediate pass) warrants scrutiny of whether the issue was resolved satisfactorily or if the vehicle was driven unsafely between tests. The recorded mileage of 42,991 miles over ten years—roughly 4,300 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and class. The gaps between tests are consistent at approximately 12 months, with no rapid mileage spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern could indicate either light usage or extended periods of storage, which may have mitigated some wear but could also mean deferred maintenance on less visible components like suspension bushes or drivetrain seals. Given the lack of recorded defects, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be the suspension and steering geometry, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and track rod ends—common areas for wear in high-mileage Land Rover models. The brakes, though not flagged in tests, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be examined for corrosion, as aluminium-bodied Land Rovers are prone to hidden pitting. Finally, verify that any previous advisories from the 2025 failure were addressed, as the absence of notes in the record leaves ambiguity.
