2021 Land Rover Discovery Spt R Dyn Hse MHEV A
CarHunch analysed 127 real MOT records for the 2021 Land Rover Discovery Spt R Dyn Hse MHEV A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2021 Discovery Sport is performing solidly—an 87.7% first-time pass rate beats the UK average of 80% by a meaningful margin, suggesting these vehicles are well-built and properly maintained overall. However, 12.6% have encountered dangerous defects at some point, which is slightly above the comfort zone for a premium SUV, so a pre-purchase inspection remains worthwhile.
At 28,735 miles median, these vehicles are running relatively low mileage for their age, which explains the low 0.35 average failures per test. The 2.2 advisories per vehicle suggest minor wear items rather than systemic issues—typical for a well-sorted hybrid powertrain. Before purchase, request the full MOT history to check whether any dangerous defects were recorded and properly remedied.
What to check before buying a 2021 Land Rover Discovery Spt R Dyn Hse MHEV 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.
