This 2019 Discovery Sport diesel is more reliable than the UK average, with an 86.6% first-time pass rate against the typical 80%—a solid result for a premium SUV. However, 21.3% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is notably high and worth taking seriously if you're considering a used example.

At 34,500 miles median for a five-year-old model, these cars are running lower mileage than many rivals, suggesting mostly sensible ownership. Owners face an average of 0.68 failures and 4.2 advisories per test, pointing to typical wear on suspension, braking, and minor components; if you're buying one, get a full pre-purchase inspection and budget for preventative maintenance on the front suspension and brake system.

The 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport R Dyn Hse D A passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (87.5%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 87.5% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 4.2 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 684 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
