2011 Land Rover Defender 2.4L Diesel · HG61 AAJ

This Land Rover Defender presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes. The most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 26,887 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed a test one day prior on 25 September 2025, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved instantly. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 15 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,792 miles per year. Between December 2022 and September 2025, the odometer moved from 20,731 to 26,887 miles, indicating a consistent but light usage pattern. Such low mileage often suggests the vehicle has spent significant time stationary, which can lead to different wear patterns than those seen in high-mileage examples. Despite the absence of MOT advisories, the lack of recorded faults over several years is atypical for a vehicle of this age and type. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas prone to deterioration during periods of inactivity. This includes checking for perished rubber seals, glazed brake discs, and the condition of the tyres to ensure they have not developed flat spots or age-related cracking. Special attention must be paid to the chassis and bodywork for signs of corrosion. Defenders are notorious for structural rust, and a clean MOT record does not always guarantee the absence of surface or deep-seated oxidation in the bulkhead or cross-members. Inspecting the suspension bushes and fluid levels will confirm if the low mileage has been matched by a rigorous preventative maintenance schedule.
