Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Land Rover Discovery Spt Urbn Ed D MHEV A?

This 2022 Discovery Sport Urban Edition diesel is a solid performer, passing its first MOT 88.8% of the time—nearly 9 points above the UK average of 80%—suggesting robust build quality and reliability from Land Rover on this generation. Only 5.8% have recorded dangerous defects, which is reassuringly low and puts safety concerns well below the threshold for worry.

At a median mileage of 26,807 miles, these vehicles show typical wear for their age, and the fact that they average just 0.18 failures per car signals that major mechanical problems remain rare. When advisories do crop up—averaging 0.9 per vehicle—they're usually minor maintenance items rather than serious faults, so before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on suspension and electrical systems, which tend to be where Land Rovers rack up advisory flags.

The 2022 Land Rover Discovery Spt Urbn Ed D MHEV A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (91.2% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

⚠️ Around 1 in 20 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.

🔍 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.
