Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Land Rover Defender Hard Top D MHEV Auto presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 10 December 2025 at 29,743 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the only blemish being an administrative failure on 17 June 2025 at 26,709 miles where the tester logged no defects. Prior tests in July 2024 showed a failure on the 17th at 21,603 miles followed by a pass the same day at 21,607 miles, again with no faults cited. No worsening mechanical pattern emerges from the record. Recorded mileage stands at 29,743 against a five-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 5,949 miles per year. This is low for the age and suggests either light use or extended standing periods. The gap between the July 2024 pass at 21,607 miles and the June 2025 failure at 26,709 miles shows about 5,100 miles added in eleven months, then only 3,034 miles to the December 2025 pass. The sparse, clean entries indicate no consumable neglect or structural issues were flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual mileage may have allowed corrosion or perished rubbers to develop unnoticed during standing periods. The repeated no-defect failures point to paperwork or identification issues rather than mechanical fault, so verify the V5C and test certificate alignment. Check underneath for structural rust and confirm the MHEV drivetrain has received scheduled servicing despite the limited miles covered.
