Land Rover Defender 90 TD5 2.5L Diesel · MKZ 6184

The most recent MOT test on 4 November 2023 at 106,208 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle presented as roadworthy at that examination. The maintenance trend across the supplied records appears stable in documented condition, though the sparse testing interval limits confidence. A prior failure on 4 July 2017 at 94,237 miles carries no listed defects, yet the subsequent pass on 31 July 2017 at 95,014 miles also shows none, suggesting either an administrative fail or rapid rectification undocumented. Mileage progression from the July 2017 pass at 95,014 miles to the November 2023 test at 106,208 miles reveals an increase of 11,194 miles over roughly six years and three months, equating to an average annual accumulation near 1,780 miles. Such low usage implies light running or extended storage. The recorded history lacks intermediate annual tests, leaving the odometer correlation with vehicle age unverified and the provided data insufficient for deeper trend analysis. The official DVSA entries flag no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, exhaust emissions or structural corrosion at either passing examination. Buyers should nonetheless commission a physical inspection of the Defender chassis rails and outriggers for rust given the model vulnerability and the prolonged testing gap. The tester noted no binding calipers or worn tyres in 2023, but tyre condition and wiper blades remain consumable items requiring visual confirmation. Previous ownership patterns inferred from the record show a vehicle that cleared MOT with no defects when tested, yet the 2017 fail with no recorded fault hints at possible lapsed maintenance or paperwork oversight. The current keeper presented the truck for test after long dormancy in the record, so a pre-purchase examination by a marque specialist is prudent to validate structural integrity beyond the bare pass result.
