2010 Land Rover Defender 2.4L Diesel · DG60 AAK

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 November 2025 at 61,295 miles resulted in a clean pass, continuing a trend of consecutive defect-free tests. This consistent performance suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and avoids the common mechanical or structural failures typically associated with older Land Rover Defenders. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,831 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 54,446 miles and the November 2025 test at 61,295 miles, the vehicle covered only 6,849 miles. This low usage pattern generally reduces wear on the drivetrain components and engine internals, though long periods of low-distance use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals which do not always manifest immediately during a standard MOT test. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer must focus their physical inspection on structural integrity and suspension components. Given the age of the vehicle, you should check the chassis and rails for corrosion, particularly in the mounting points, as the MOT only checks for significant structural corrosness. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perishability, as these parts can degrade over time regardless of the low mileage. Checking the brake calipers for signs of seizing or binding is also advisable to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in internal corrosion within the braking system.
