Is 52 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2016 and 2026, roughly 5 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2016 has 52 complaints on file, more than the 2015 (14) and more than the 2017 (39). That is the most of the 6 model years of the Land Rover Discovery Sport we cover. Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
