2015 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · SJ15 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 25 April 2025 at 14,058 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met all legal requirements at that time. This trend suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids mechanical or structural failures over the last five years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,278 miles per year. Data shows a gradual but consistent usage pattern, such as the 1,625 miles covered between April 2023 and April 2024, followed by only 675 miles in the most recent year. While this low mileage reduces typical mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also indicates the vehicle may have spent long periods stationary. The lack of any recorded advisories across five tests supports the claim that the vehicle has not been subjected to harsh environments or high-frequency use. A buyer must account for the specific risks associated with low-mileage stationary vehicles. Physical inspection should focus on flat-spot tyres, seized brake calipers, and perished rubber components which often occur when a vehicle is not driven regularly. Given the Defender's design, a thorough check for early-stage corrosion on the chassis and frame remains essential, despite the MOT record not currently flagging structural issues. Testing the fluid levels and seal integrity is also vital to ensure that seals have not degraded due to age rather than distance.
