2015 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · WV65 ABZ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent test on 10 September 2025 at 82,183 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the history shows two instances of initial failure on the same day as the pass in September 2025 and September 2023, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified immediately. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 3,174 miles between the September 2023 test at 79,009 miles and the August 2024 test at 81,311 miles. The subsequent 872 miles added by September 2025 indicate a period of significantly lower usage. This low annual average suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy commercial duty or long-distance commuting. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and bodywork. Land Rover Defenders of this era are highly susceptible to structural corrosion, particularly in the bulkhead, chassis rails, and door sills. The MOT test does not always capture early-stage surface rust or internal corrosion that could compromise structural integrity over time. Attention should also be paid to the drivetrain and suspension components. Since no advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake wear appeared in the records, a manual check for leaks or perished rubber seals is necessary. Given the low mileage accumulation in the final year, checking for signs of stagnation, such as tyre flat-spots or battery degradation, is advised.
