2013 LAND ROVER DEFENDER2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 18 September 2025 at 120,620 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This sequence suggests a minor, non-structural issue that was rectified immediately before the retest, as the subsequent record shows no recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation across the documented period. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old Defender, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 112,819 miles and September 2025 at 120,620 miles, the vehicle covered 7,801 miles, showing regular intervals of roughly 2,600 to 3,000 miles annually. This steady usage suggests regular operation, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components to prevent seizing and dry rot in rubber components that occurs with long stationary periods. While the MOT record lacks specific advisories or faults, a buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and rear rails, as vehicles of this age are prone to surface and deep corrosion that may not always trigger a failure until significant. Inspect the suspension bushes and telescopic arms for signs of excessive wear common to the Defender platform. Given the mileage, check the drivetrain for leaks and assess the condition of the brake discs and calipers to ensure the consistent MOT history reflects actual proactive maintenance.
