Land Rover Discovery Sport (2019)
2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport
CarHunch analysed 11,389 real MOT records for the 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Discovery Sport passes its MOT first time in 87% of cases, a solid 7 percentage points above the UK average, suggesting good baseline reliability for the model year. However, nearly 1 in 5 vehicles (18.8%) have experienced a dangerous defect at some point, which is worth factoring into your decision as a prospective buyer.
At just under 40,000 miles median mileage, these cars are still relatively young, and the 0.75 average failures per vehicle reflects light wear so far—though the 5.7 advisories per car suggest minor issues are accumulating across the fleet. If you're considering one, budget for addressing those advisory-level items proactively rather than waiting for them to become failures, and factor in potential costs around the dangerous defect concerns.
What to check before buying a 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport
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.
