2009 LAND ROVER DEFENDER2.4L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a remarkably stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 14 July 2025 at 109,181 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistent clean sheet across the last five annual tests suggests the previous owner has been proactive with upkeep and addressed potential mechanical issues before they could result in a test failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally consistent for a vehicle of seventeen-year-old, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between July 2021 at 95,943 miles and July 2025 at 109,181 miles, the vehicle covered 13,238 miles, showing steady usage that avoids the risks of component degradation associated with long periods of standing or the accelerated wear of high-mileage cycles. The lack of significant spikes in annual mileage indicates the vehicle has likely been used regularly and maintained according to a predictable schedule. Despite the pristine digital MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on the inherent structural integrity and heavy-duty components typical of the 2009 Defender. A buyer should scrutinise the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the rear crossmember and mounting, as the MOT tester does not flag deep-seated rust until it becomes structural. Checking the suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering linkages for play is essential, as these components often wear gradually without triggering a failure until they reach a critical state.
