2016 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · TL16 GUN

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile, maintaining a stable pass record following an initial minor failure. The most recent test in September 2025 at 18,197 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of consistent passing back to 2021, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all statutory safety and environmental requirements without any immediate mechanical or structural concerns noted in the official history. The' pattern is exceptionally low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 1,820 miles per year. The data shows significant intervals between tests; for instance, the vehicle covered only 484 miles between March 2022 and September 2025, and just 707 miles in the three years prior to those two tests. While this reduces linear wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the rarity suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Such usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related issues irrespective of the low odometer reading. A buyer must focus their inspection on risks associated with low-mileage storage. Because the vehicle has not been driven frequently, a physical check should target seized brake calipers, cracking in tyre sidewalls due to age, and' suspension bushes or seals. The failure recorded in March 2020 at 16,142 miles was rectified immediately to allow a pass, but the lack of subsequent advisories on structural rust necessitates a thorough visual check for corrosion on the chassis and frame to ensure the integrity remains uncompromised despite the low use.
