2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · WV16 CDY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 54,212 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates that the mechanical condition currently meets minimum standards following a failure in the previous year. While the history shows a pattern of reactive maintenance regarding braking components, the clean sheet from the 5025-mile test suggests that the previous owner addressed the outstanding issues identified by the tester months prior. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between April 2022 and November 2022, where the car covered only 1,678 miles in seven months. Since the November 2023 test, usage has increased slightly, covering roughly 13,500 miles over two years. This low annual mileage often reduces the wear on drivetrain components, but it can also lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion on brake steel due to periods of limited operation. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the record shows a recurring issue with thin pads and pitted discs. The vehicle failed in October 2024 at 47,506 miles for worn pads and scored discs across all wheels, mirroring thin pads noted back in 2019 at 23,774 miles suggests the owner only replaces components when they reach the failure threshold rather than following a preventative schedule. Additionally, the 2020 report flagged a light misting on the nearside front shock absorber. While this was not a failure, a physical inspection is required to check for further leaks or diminished damping to ensure the suspension has not deteriorated since that entry.
