Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with no recorded defects across its three most recent MOT tests. The December 2025 examination at 34,126 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories, confirming the maintenance trend remains consistent and free of escalating mechanical concerns. Prior tests in January 2025 at 23,768 miles and November 2023 at 9,393 miles similarly recorded clean passes. This pattern indicates the previous keeper addressed any required upkeep before each annual test. Mileage accumulation shows a marked shift from extremely light early use to moderate recent activity. The Defender covered only 9,393 miles in its first seven years to November 2023, averaging roughly 1,340 miles per year. Between November 2023 and January 2025 the odometer advanced 14,375 miles, then a further 10,358 miles by December 2025. Such a jump suggests the vehicle stood largely idle initially, then entered regular service. The sparse three-entry history offers limited longitudinal detail, yet each test cleared without fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural and mechanical components prone to age rather than mileage. The DVSA record shows no corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc scoring, but long stationary periods can conceal binding calipers and flat-spotted tyres. Examine the chassis rails, bulkhead, and outriggers for surface rust that may not yet breach MOT thresholds. Check the coil springs and steering joints for perishing from infrequent movement. Verify the brake calipers free off correctly and the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load, as low annual distances can mask intermittent binding. The clean defect sheet implies conscientious ownership, yet physical verification of drivetrain oil condition and differential seals remains prudent given the vehicle’s ten-year age.

Our Verdict

This 2016 Land Rover Defender 110 County TD D/C offers strong value with a clean MOT history and low mileage for its age, making it a reliable choice for off-road enthusiasts.

Prioritize checking the service history for regular maintenance, particularly diesel particulate filter (DPF) servicing. Inspect the underbody for rust, a common issue in older Defenders. Test drive to assess the 4x4 system and suspension. Negotiate based on its low mileage, but be cautious of potential hidden wear in off-road components.

Diesel fuel economy averages 30-35 mpg, costing £1,000-£1,200 annually for 8,000-10,000 miles. Road tax is £155 per year (2026 rate for diesel 1,500-1,600cc). Insurance group 15-18 could cost £500-£700 yearly. Maintenance costs may rise due to the Defender's complexity, with £300-£500 estimated for annual servicing.

Focus on the chassis and suspension for rust or wear, as Defenders are prone to corrosion. Check the DPF and EGR valve for common diesel issues. Verify the 4x4 system operates smoothly. Review service records to confirm regular oil changes and filter replacements, critical for diesel engine longevity.

The vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record across three consecutive tests, with no defects reported. At 34,126 miles (as of 2025), the mileage is below average for an 8-year-old diesel SUV. Its 2.2L diesel engine and rugged design suit adventurous buyers, though no model-specific reliability data is available.

No aggregate MOT data exists for this specific model, but the Defender 110's reputation for durability suggests strong long-term potential when properly maintained.
