2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · WN17 FOF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. The most recent test in November 2025 at 97,413 miles passed, but carried advisories for both front tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a pattern seen in June 2023 where the rear tyres were flagged similarly, suggesting that the owner tends to replace consumables only when they approach failure thresholds. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per year. There was a significant gap of 11,746 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, followed by another 12,773-mile interval between June 2024 and November 2025. This steady usage suggests regular motorway miles, which is generally preferable for engine components than long periods of sitting, though the high mileage puts increased strain on the heavy-duty suspension and drivetrain components typical of the Discovery Sport. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring reports of tyres worn on the edge in 2023 and 2025 indicate potential issues with worn bushes or incorrect tracking settings. The failure in May 2022 at 61,334 miles was particularly poor, involving exposed cords and missing body components which highlights a lack of basic pre-test inspections. Given the thin brake pads noted in 2022 and the high mileage, a thorough check of the braking system, including disc thickness and caliper seals, and the condition of the rubber bushings in the subframe is essential to ensure no mechanical failures are imminent.
