2007 LAND ROVER DEFENDER2.4L Diesel

The Land Rover Defender presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 October 2025 at 49,800 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 2 September 2024 examination at 47,508 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 49,800 against a 2007 build, equating to roughly 2,600 miles per year. The 2022 test at 46,434 miles and the 2024 figure of 47,508 show only light annual use. A gap exists between July 2022 and September 2024 where no intermediate records appear. The 2024 to 2025 increase was just 2,292 miles. Low totals suggest prolonged standing periods rather than hard drivetrain wear, though static corrosion risk rises with disuse. The 2 September 2024 entry lists both a fail and a pass on the same date at identical mileage with no defects cited. This points to an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity appear in any record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of chassis outriggers, bulkhead, and rear crossmember for hidden rust given the vehicle's age and low-use pattern. Verify the brake calipers are free and the coil springs show no fatigue from standing load. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but paper evidence does not cover concealed corrosion.
