1994 Land Rover Defender 2.5L Diesel · M936 PHH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record across its last three inspections. The most recent test on 13 June 2025 at 136,704 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite a failure on the same day. This suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately prior to the retest. The overall history indicates that the vehicle is being kept to operational standards without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last two years. At 32 years old, the recorded mileage of 136,704 miles represents a low average of approximately 4,272 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with 6,499 miles covered between June 2023 and July 2024, and another 6,395 miles between July 2024 and June 2025. This steady annual accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, though low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from perished rubber components and fluid degradation if not properly maintained. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and structural integrity, as Defenders of this era are prone to hidden corrosion in the mounting points and crossmembers. While the MOT record shows no advisories, the low mileage necessitates a close check of suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, which can occur with age regardless of distance driven. Additionally, verify the brake lines for corrosion and seized calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from internal hydraulic issues that a standard MOT might not fully capture until a failure occurs.
