PPY 3 MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
30 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 Land Rover Defender (PPY 3) between September 2005 and February 2026.
The record contains 21 passes and 9 failures.
The most recent test on 26 February 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (28 issues), Lighting (21 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Steering (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 66 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))”; “All direction indicators adversely affected by the operation of another lamp (4.4.3 (b))”; “Rear Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps (4.7.1 (b) (ii))”.
