2022 Land Rover Defender Xdynamic HSE D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · 2 ROE

The vehicle presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 15 May 2026 at 33,772 miles, passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures. This follows a similarly unblemished test on 6 May 2025 at 17,571 miles. The maintenance trend is stable and improving, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged across the available record. A clean pass with no advisories in the most recent test indicates the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical order. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a four-year-old vehicle. Between the May 2025 test at 17,571 miles and the May 2026 test at 33,772 miles, the vehicle covered 16,201 miles in twelve months. This equates to roughly 8,443 miles per annum over its life, which sits squarely within normal usage parameters for a modern diesel MHEV Defender. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record that would suggest long periods of standing or clocking. The data is sparse, limited to two tests, but both are entirely clean. Despite the unblemished MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. The Defender platform, particularly the D MHEV variant, places significant stress on suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar linkages due to its weight and off-road capability. Check for uneven tyre wear, which can indicate alignment issues or worn suspension components not yet severe enough to trigger an MOT advisory. Inspect the underside for corrosion on subframes, brake lines, and exhaust components, as Land Rover chassis and structural rust can develop silently between annual tests. Examine the brake discs and pads for scoring or uneven wear, and verify that the MHEV system's regenerative braking and 48-volt electrical architecture are functioning without dashboard warnings. A short test drive should confirm smooth gear changes, no drivetrain vibrations, and that the engine start-stop and hybrid assist operate correctly.
