2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Diesel · YH16 ABO

The most recent MOT test on 2026-02-03 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 97,889 miles. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past two years, as both the 2025 and 2024 tests also passed without failings. The absence of advisories or recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been consistently compliant with UK roadworthiness standards, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain seals. The mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 9,800 miles annually. There is a notable gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests, where mileage only increased by 745 miles over 15 months, suggesting the vehicle may have been stationary or lightly used during that period. Conversely, the jump from 57,233 to 75,246 miles between August 2023 and January 2024—over 18,000 miles in five months—implies a period of heavier usage, which could accelerate wear on consumables like brakes and tyres. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including the condition of bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these are critical at this mileage and often overlooked in routine checks. The brakes, particularly the rear calipers and discs, should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as the lack of advisories does not guarantee they have not been neglected. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, which can compromise the vehicle’s safety without immediate MOT failings. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related defects are not always flagged until they become severe.
