2022 Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic SE Auto 2.0L Hybrid electric · HW71 ANX

The vehicle is roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 38,293 miles passing without any safety‑related failures; the only advisory concerned a deteriorated front registration plate, which the tester judged unlikely to cause misreading. The absence of repeat defects across the two recorded tests indicates a stable maintenance record rather than a deteriorating trend. Mileage rose from 25,255 miles on 31 March 2025 to 38,293 miles on 16 March 2026, an increase of roughly 13,000 miles in just under twelve months. This annualised figure exceeds the typical 9,000‑10,000 miles expected for a four‑year‑old Defender and suggests relatively intensive use during the period. No gaps or unexplained mileage jumps appear in the record; the data is otherwise clean, implying that the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than sitting idle for long stretches. A prospective buyer should focus on consumable wear that correlates with the higher mileage. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, verify brake pad and disc thickness, and examine suspension components such as bushings and coil springs for signs of fatigue. The front registration plate should be replaced to eliminate the advisory, and a visual check for corrosion around the chassis and exhaust system will confirm that the higher usage has not accelerated structural wear.
