2015 Land Rover Defender 90 XS TD 2.2L Heavy oil · 111 HDM

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 11 August 2025 at 17,967 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to August 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or used sparingly enough to avoid common wear and tear. The mileage is remarkably low for an eleven year old Defender, averaging roughly 1,633 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2025, the odometer increased by only 715 miles, moving from 17,252 to 17,967 miles. Such minimal usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which introduces different risks than those associated with high-mileage wear. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and bodywork for corrosion. While the MOT records show no structural failures, the low mileage and age of this model make it susceptible to rust in hidden areas, particularly the bulkhead and chassis rails. The lack of recorded defects does not guarantee the absence of surface oxidation or deep-seated corrosion that a standard MOT might overlook if it does not compromise immediate structural integrity. Inspect the rubber components and braking system for signs of degradation caused by inactivity. Brake discs can develop surface corrosion and calipers may seize when a vehicle stands for long periods. Check the tyres for flat spots or age-related cracking, as the low mileage suggests they may be old despite having plenty of tread remaining. Verify the condition of the engine seals and fluids to ensure no leaks have developed during periods of dormancy.
