Tyres — 17.1% of failures
Tyres issues account for 17.1% of MOT failures on the Land Rover Discovry Sprt Rdyn Hse P300e A.

Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
Brakes — 3.8% of failures
Brakes issues account for 3.8% of MOT failures on the Land Rover Discovry Sprt Rdyn Hse P300e A. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Visibility — 2.8% of failures
Visibility issues account for 2.8% of MOT failures on the Land Rover Discovry Sprt Rdyn Hse P300e A. Visibility failures relate to the windscreen, wipers, washers, mirrors, and view-obstructing damage. Cracks in the windscreen swept area, ineffective wipers, or empty washer bottles are common causes. Typical repair costs: £10–300.
