2021 Land Rover Defender First Edition D Auto 2.0L Diesel · X15 HEW

This vehicle is in excellent mechanical condition according to its MOT history, with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 April 2026 at 49,719 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Although the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue, as the car passed immediately. The mileage pattern is consistent and typical for a five year old vehicle. It covered 4,644 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, followed by a more significant increase of 10,610 miles leading up to the April 2026 test. This acceleration in use does not appear to have impacted the vehicle's roadworthiness, as the tester flagged no issues despite the increased wear on consumables. The absence of any advisories or failures across three years of testing is uncommon for a vehicle of this type and age. There are no recorded instances of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc deterioration. The record implies a high standard of preventative maintenance by the previous owner, as no recurring mechanical faults have emerged. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that the MOT does not always exhaustively detail. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the service history for oil changes, given the recent increase in annual mileage. While the MOT record is clean, verifying the condition of the underbody for any unreported surface rust remains prudent for a Defender.
