LAND ROVER 90 DEFENDER1985 · 2.5L DIESEL

The most recent MOT was a pass on June 24, 2024, with no defects recorded. However, based on today's date of June 2, 2026, the vehicle is now overdue for its annual inspection. The mechanical pattern is remarkably stable. Across the three most recent tests dating back to 2022, there have been no recorded defects or failures. This indicates a vehicle that has been kept in a consistent state of repair without any emerging trends of deterioration. The recorded mileage of 6,879 miles is exceptionally low for a 41-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 168 miles per year. While this suggests the drivetrain and suspension have avoided the wear associated with hard use, such low mileage typically implies long periods of standing. This often presents a different set of risks, as components can degrade from lack of use rather than from wear. Because the MOT history is clean but the vehicle has spent significant time stationary, the primary concern is the effect of under-use. A buyer should first inspect the vehicle for signs of degradation caused by standing, specifically checking the condition of rubber seals, tires, and the braking system to ensure they have not seized or perished during periods of inactivity.
