2021 Land Rover Discovery Spt Rdyn SE D MHEV A
CarHunch analysed 787 real MOT records for the 2021 Land Rover Discovery Spt Rdyn SE D MHEV A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2021 Discovery Sport is scoring well above the UK average with an 88.5% first-time pass rate, suggesting strong overall reliability for the model year—though 14.5% of vehicles have experienced a dangerous defect at some point, which is worth considering if you're buying used. The diesel variant dominates the cohort at 88.4% pass rate, and these examples are running relatively low mileage at just over 34,000 miles median, so you're likely looking at early-life vehicles still proving themselves.
The average owner faces only 0.37 failures per test but 2.1 advisories, indicating minor wear items are more common than serious problems on these engines. When shopping, prioritize a full service history and specifically ask about any advisory items flagged in previous MOT certificates—these Discoveries are solid performers but benefit from staying on top of scheduled maintenance.
What to check before buying a 2021 Land Rover Discovery Spt Rdyn SE D 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.
