About the Land Rover Discovery Sport

The Land Rover Discovery Sport is a compact luxury SUV introduced in Australia in 2015 as a replacement for the Freelander 2. It offers five or seven-seat flexibility in a smaller footprint while retaining Land Rover’s signature all-wheel drive capabilities and Terrain Response system. The Discovery Sport shares its platform with the Range Rover Evoque and is available with a variety of engines, including 2.0L petrol and diesel options from the Ingenium family. In later years, mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants were introduced. Known for its versatile interior, practical boot space, and off-road ability, the Discovery Sport is a popular choice for families who want a stylish and capable SUV with genuine 4WD credentials.

Common Land Rover Discovery Sport problems

Early models often suffer from issues with the InControl infotainment system, including screen freezing, poor Bluetooth connectivity, and unresponsive menus. Software updates or a full system reset typically solve the problem.
The 2.0L Ingenium diesel and petrol engines have been known to suffer from timing chain stretch, particularly in vehicles built before 2019. This can lead to a rattling noise at startup, poor fuel economy, and in severe cases, engine damage. Chain replacement is the usual fix.
In diesel Discovery Sports with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), short drives and frequent stop-start usage can lead to fuel mixing with oil during DPF regeneration. This dilutes the engine oil and can cause long-term wear unless addressed with frequent oil changes.
A high-pitched whining or humming noise from the rear of the vehicle is a common sign of differential wear. This typically becomes noticeable around 60,000 to 80,000 km. A diff rebuild or replacement may be required.
Owners have reported water ingress around the panoramic roof seals, door seals, and tailgate. This can cause damp carpets and electrical issues in the footwell or rear compartment. Resealing and drain cleaning usually resolve the issue.
Like other models in the Land Rover range, the Discovery Sport’s electronic parking brake can fail or become stuck. This is usually caused by a failed actuator or cable and requires module replacement.
Some automatic models experience delayed or jerky gear shifts, especially at low speeds or when cold. This can often be improved with a transmission software update or fluid service.
Frequent check engine lights can appear due to faulty sensors such as the crankshaft sensor, oxygen sensors, or DPF pressure sensors. While not always serious, they often require diagnostics and part replacement to restore proper performance.
