2014 LAND ROVER DEFENDER2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on August 28, 2025 at 82,965 miles passed following an initial failure for low front headlamp aim, which was corrected immediately. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained clean passes for several years, suggesting that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances under the current ownership. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent and typical for a Defender of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 81,066 miles and August 2025 at 82,965 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,899 miles. This low annual usage suggests light- or seasonal use rather than heavy commercial work. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals, which should be monitored for despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the steering assembly, as the May 2024 test at 82,683 miles flagged slight play in the drag link end ball joint. While this passed the test, it indicates the beginning of wear in the front geometry. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a thorough check of the chassis and structural integrity for corrosion is essential, as the MOT record does not provide detail on the state of surface rust common to this model.
