AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable and consistent maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT test on 11 February 2026 at 28,149 miles resulting in a pass. The only recorded issue was an advisory regarding an offside rear inner nail in the tyre, which is a common consumable fault. Aside from this minor tyre defect, the vehicle has maintained a clean MOT history with no recorded failures or significant advisories across the previous four years of testing. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,519 miles per year. The data shows a steady, incremental increase in mileage from 18,415 miles in February 2022 to 28,149 miles in February 2026. This pattern suggests the car has been used for light, intermittent trips rather than high-frequency long-distance commuting. While low mileage generally implies less wear on drivetrain components, such usage patterns can sometimes lead to issues with moisture accumulation or battery degradation due to short journeys. A physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of the tyres and wheels to ensure the recent nail issue has been rectified and that no sidewall damage exists. Given the low annual mileage, a buyer should specifically check for signs of age-related deterioration in rubber components, such as suspension bushes and drive shafts, which can perish even without heavy mechanical use. The lack of recorded issues regarding brake discs, calipers, or structural corrosion in the MOT history is a positive indicator. However, because the vehicle has spent much of its life doing low mileage, it is prudent to inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or uneven corrosion and check the underbody for any signs of moisture retention or early-stage oxidation.

Our Verdict

This is a well-maintained example worth considering for a used diesel SUV buyer. The consistent clean MOT record and low annual mileage make it a lower-risk purchase than many comparable 2018 vehicles.

Given the clean MOT record, focus your negotiation on the low mileage and recent tyre advisory — ask for confirmation the nail-in-tyre was repaired or the tyre replaced after the February 2026 test. Request the full service history to verify the 2.0-litre diesel engine has been maintained on schedule, as Land Rover diesels are sensitive to oil and filter intervals. As no aggregate reliability stats exist for this model, lean on the documented MOT passes and a professional inspection rather than assumed brand reputation.

As a 2018 1999cc diesel, this Discovery Sport will fall into a higher VED band than smaller cars but benefits from reasonable diesel economy on longer trips; exact tax and insurance group figures are not in the provided data. Typical maintenance for a Land Rover diesel SUV is above average for the family car sector, with servicing and consumables costing more than a mainstream hatchback. Based on low annual mileage of roughly 4,000 miles, estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance are around £1,200-£1,500.

The only MOT advisory in the history is a nail in the offside rear inner tyre noted at the 2026-02-11 test with 28,149 miles — confirm this was addressed and check all four tyres for even wear and age cracking. With five passes and no defects from 18,415 miles (2022) to 28,149 miles (2026), inspect the brakes and suspension visually for any early wear not yet flagged. As this is a red 2018 diesel variant with no model aggregate data, a pre-purchase inspection of the engine bay for leaks and the DPF condition is sensible given diesel use at low annual mileage.

The 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport (YR65ADE) is a red 2.0-litre diesel first registered in March 2018 and has covered just 28,149 miles as of its latest MOT in February 2026. MOT history shows five consecutive passes from 2022 to 2026 with no recorded failures and only a minor nail-in-tyre advisory on the offside rear in 2026. With no aggregate model reliability data available, the individual history is the best indicator and it points to careful use.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Land Rover Discovery Sport, so this example's individual history must be used as the primary reliability indicator.
