1995 LAND ROVER DEFENDER2.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 15 November 2025 at 199,156 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, continuing a clean streak of consecutive annual passes. This trend suggests that the current owner is proactive regarding mechanical upkeep and addresses potential issues before they result in a formal MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage patterns for a Land Rover of this age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the vehicle covered 12,581 miles, showing a steady progression of roughly 3,000 to 3,200 miles annually. This rate indicates the car is driven regularly rather than left stationary for long periods, which is often beneficial for maintaining seals, brake components, and suspension bushings against the dry corrosion and seizing often seen in older vehicles. Despite the clean digital history, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and bulkhead, as these areas are prone to hidden corrosion. A buyer should check for deep rust around the mounting points and crossmembers, which MOT testers may not always flag until it becomes structural. Given the high mileage, a close examination of the drivetrain mounts, steering joints, and the condition of the dampers is essential, as these components experience significant wear over 200,000 miles.
