Land Rover Defender 90 TD5 2.5L Diesel · BIG 4027

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-09-22 assessment at 153,199 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also showed passing results with no recorded issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The absence of recurring faults or advisories suggests the owner has addressed mechanical needs promptly, though the lack of detailed defect logs limits insight into specific component conditions. The mileage progression shows a steady increase of approximately 5,000–6,000 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. From 132,939 miles in 2021 to 153,199 in 2025, the records reveal no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity, implying regular operation. However, the absence of mileage comparisons against the vehicle’s production year (not provided) prevents assessing whether the current odometer reading reflects expected wear for its age. A physical inspection should focus on suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushings, which are common wear points on this model. While no brake-related issues were noted, the absence of detailed brake disc or caliper checks in the MOT data means a mechanic should verify for corrosion or uneven wear. Structural integrity cannot be confirmed from the records alone, so a thorough underbody examination for rust or damage is advisable, given the vehicle’s high mileage and exposure to varied driving conditions.
