2015 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · WV65 AEL

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over five consecutive years. The most recent test conducted on 26 August 2025 at 27,953 miles returned no defects or advisories. This indicates a remarkably stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets regulatory requirements without the common mechanical or structural failures seen in older Land Rover models. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,541 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 13,827 miles and August 2025 at 27,953 miles, the vehicle covered only 14,126 miles. This low usage pattern suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system. However, such long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown if the vehicle is not driven regularly. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a buyer must focus on specific areas associated with low-mileage storage. Inspect the chassis for signs of surface corrosion, split tyres, and perished suspension bushes which can occur regardless of mileage. Check the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear, as stationary vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or rusted rotors. Given the age and mileage, verify the service history to ensure oil and fluid changes were performed annually, as the MOT only tests components once every two years.
