LAND ROVER DEFENDER2013 · 2.2L Diesel

This 2013 Land Rover Defender presents an exceptionally clean MOT record. The most recent test in May 2025 at 49,154 miles passed with no defects, and every annual test since 2021 has returned a clean pass. The maintenance trend is stable and well-maintained, with no advisories or failures across five consecutive inspections. This indicates consistent care and no developing mechanical or structural issues flagged by DVSA testers. The recorded mileage of 49,154 miles over 13 years gives an average of roughly 3,781 miles per year, which is low for a vehicle of this age and type. The mileage accumulation is steady and linear: 36,825 miles in May 2021, rising to 40,023 in May 2022, 42,749 in May 2023, 45,683 in May 2024, and 49,154 in May 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps. The pattern suggests light but regular use, likely as a second vehicle or for short-distance duties rather than heavy off-road or towing work. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults or structural concerns, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. Land Rover Defenders are prone to chassis corrosion, bulkhead rust, and suspension bush wear, especially on vehicles that may have stood for periods. Check the chassis rails, outriggers, and crossmembers for any signs of rot or previous welding. Inspect the rear crossmember and footwells. Listen for clunks from the front swivel pins or A-frame ball joint. Brake discs and pads are consumables not flagged here, but given the low mileage, they may be original and should be assessed for condition. The clean record is a strong positive, but a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist remains advisable.
