LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110 XS TD D/C2014 · 2.2L Diesel

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests since 2021 recording no defects. The most recent 2026-03-27 inspection at 47,869 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or escalating faults are evident in the record, suggesting the owner prioritized basic upkeep. However, the absence of recorded defects does not preclude hidden wear, particularly in components subject to gradual degradation. Mileage progression shows low annual usage, averaging 3,989 miles per year over 12 years. A notable gap of 16 months between the 2021-09-15 test (43,451 miles) and 2023-01-19 (45,073 miles) coincides with a 1,622-mile increase, reflecting infrequent use. Subsequent tests reveal incremental mileage gains, with 953 miles added between 2024-04-04 and 2025-03-26, and 728 miles between 2025-03-26 and 2026-03-27. This pattern suggests the vehicle has remained in low-mileage storage or light use, potentially affecting fluid longevity and mechanical flexibility. A buyer should inspect for signs of inactivity-related issues, such as corroded underbody components, hardened suspension bushes, or dry-rotted rubber seals. Despite the clean MOT history, the low mileage may mask wear in drivetrain components like CV joints or differential gears, which benefit from regular operation. A thorough check of the exhaust system and corrosion in body seams is advised, as these are common concerns for older Land Rovers. The vehicle’s mechanical integrity appears sound, but physical inspection is critical to confirm absence of hidden deterioration.
