1991 LAND ROVER DEFENDER2.5L Diesel

The 1991 Land Rover Defender is currently roadworthy, as confirmed by the June 18, 2024 MOT at 126,858 miles which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend remains stable, with each successive test showing no recorded defects. The mileage trajectory shows a modest increase of 2,986 miles over the two‑year span from June 2022 (123,872 miles) to June 2024 (126,858 miles), averaging just over 1,500 miles per year, well below the 3,625 miles per year expected for a 35‑year‑old vehicle. The gaps between the 2022, 2023 and 2024 tests indicate periods of minimal use or the vehicle being stored. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and verify the absence of structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches, as these components are prone to deterioration even when mileage is low. Overall, the vehicle’s recent clean test and consistent mileage suggest responsible ownership, but the age and low usage demand a thorough in‑person inspection to confirm that hidden corrosion or component fatigue have not developed since the last MOT.
