2021 Land Rover Defender SE Auto 2.0L Petrol · EM54 ABY

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on the most recent inspection. The October 2025 test at 62,745 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful retest in July 2024, suggesting that any issues identified during the previous failure were rectified promptly. The mileage accumulation is significant for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the July 2024 test at 49,094 miles and the October 2025 test at 62,745 miles, the vehicle covered 13,651 miles in approximately 15 months. This averages out to roughly 10,920 miles per year, which is consistent with the overall lifetime average of 12,549 miles per year. This sustained usage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle, which is generally positive for mechanical components like seals and gaskets. While the MOT history is relatively clean, the failure recorded on July 2, 2024, at 49,093 miles indicates a minor setback in compliance. Although the specific reason for that failure is not detailed in the summary, the immediate pass in the subsequent test suggests a quick resolution. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to check for signs of corrosion or structural damage, particularly given the higher-than-average mileage. Given the mileage and the vehicle's intended use, a close examination of the suspension system is necessary. Focus on the condition of the coil springs, bushings, and dampers to ensure the increased usage has not caused premature wear. Additionally, check the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring and inspect the tyres for consistent wear patterns, as these are the most common consumables affected by high-mileage driving.
