2011 LAND ROVER DEFENDER2.4L Diesel

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent 2025-11-11 test at 56,148 miles confirmed compliance, reinforcing consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or escalating faults are evident in the record, suggesting the previous owner prioritized regular servicing. The absence of advisories or critical failures indicates the car has been well-maintained within the scope of mandatory inspections. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase, with 47,001 miles in 2021 rising to 56,148 by 2025—a total of 9,147 miles over four years. This equates to an average of 2,287 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for a 15-year-old vehicle. Notable gaps between tests, such as the 5,641-mile jump from 2021 to 2022, suggest periods of reduced usage or potential storage. The final 2024–2025 phase saw minimal mileage growth (97 miles), raising concerns about prolonged inactivity, which can accelerate wear on seals, rubber components, and corrosion risks. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for aged bushes or coil spring fatigue, as low mileage may mask hidden wear. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for rust, particularly given the vehicle’s age and potential exposure to moisture. While the MOT history lacks structural or braking defects, the lack of recent high-mileage use means critical components like brake discs and calipers might not have been fully tested under load. Confirming the vehicle’s history of regular driving and storage conditions is essential to assess long-term reliability.
