LAND ROVER DEFENDER2009 · 2.4L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 22 May 2025 at 124,419 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean passes from 2021 through 2025 suggests a stable maintenance regime where the owner proactively addressed issues before they resulted in test failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 17-year-old Defender, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per annum. Between May 2021 at 97,072 miles and May 2025 at 124,419 miles, the vehicle covered 27,347 miles, showing steady usage of roughly 6,800 to 7,000 miles each year. This low annual mileage indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy commercial use, which typically accelerates the wear on the drivetrain components and suspension bushings. Despite the lack of recorded MOT advisories, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and crossmembers, as these areas are prone to hidden corrosion that standard tests may not fully expose. The buyer should examine the condition of the rubber components in the suspension for cracking or dry rot, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation. Checking for leaks around the engine and transfer case is also necessary to ensure the clean electronic record reflects the actual mechanical state of the vehicle.
