2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport R Dynamic SE A

CarHunch analysed 131 real MOT records for the 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport R Dynamic SE A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2019 Discovery Sport achieves an 85.3% first-time pass rate, a solid 5.3 percentage points above the UK average, suggesting good reliability across the board—though 18.3% of vehicles have recorded at least one dangerous defect, which is worth factoring into your pre-purchase inspection. The median mileage of just over 30,000 miles is low for a five-year-old model, indicating these are well-kept examples that haven't been thrashed.

On average, owners face 0.71 failures and 3.4 advisories per test, pointing to minor wear items rather than structural problems—typical for a capable family SUV at this age. Before committing to one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the suspension and braking systems, where Discovery Sports tend to show early wear.

What to check before buying a 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport R Dynamic SE A

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
