1986 Land Rover Defender 2.5L Diesel · D578 NGE

The most recent MOT test on 2026-05-22 passed with no defects recorded. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests over the last few years with no defects noted in any of the recorded entries. The overall trend in the MOT history appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed inspections. The mileage of 59,915 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests relatively low annual mileage, which could indicate lighter use or extended periods of standing rather than heavy daily driving. This low mileage, combined with the clean MOT history, suggests the mechanical components have been maintained adequately, but it does not rule out wear that is not visible on an MOT test. A buyer should first thoroughly inspect the suspension components and brake wear, as these are areas where wear can accumulate even with lower mileage. Secondly, check the condition of the drivetrain and any fluid levels to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Finally, a detailed visual inspection of the bodywork and interior condition is essential to assess the overall state of the vehicle.
