LAND ROVER DEFENDER2011 · 2.4L Diesel

The 2011 Land Rover Defender presents a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 37,039 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes stretching back to 2021. The maintenance trend is resolving and consistent, with no advisories or failures logged across the five available annual tests. Annual mileage sits at roughly 2,469 miles against the vehicle's fifteen-year life, a low figure for a Defender of this age. The records show steady, light use: 27,189 miles at the 25 October 2021 test, rising to 27,846 by 12 September 2022, 29,706 by 11 September 2023, 33,413 by 10 September 2024, and 37,039 by the 2025 test. No gaps exceed thirteen months and no rapid accumulation appears. The clean sheet across all entries implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of chassis rails, bulkhead, and outriggers for corrosion, as standing periods at low mileage accelerate structural rust on these models even when MOT tests show clear. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical measurement given the vehicle's age and light annual movement, which can stiffen components through disuse. The absence of recorded advisories means no recurring mechanical fault pattern exists in the data. Treat the low mileage as a signal to verify lubrication of drivetrain seals and brake calipers, not as evidence of worn consumables.
