2023 Land Rover Defender Xdynamic HSE D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · 8 DBO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passed MOT test on 11 February 2026 at 38,215 miles. While the vehicle met the minimum safety requirements, the maintenance trend shows a lack of proactive care regarding consumables. The tester flagged all four tyres as being near the legal limit or showing uneven edge wear, indicating that the previous owner deferred tyre replacements until the annual inspection interval. At 38,215 miles over three years, this Defender has covered an average of approximately 12,700 miles per annum. This is higher than typical for a modern luxury SUV, which places significant demand on the complex air suspension and mild hybrid drivetrain components. The recent MOT record is only four months old, suggesting the current mechanical state is reflected in the data, though the high mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has seen consistent heavy-duty road use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the alignment and suspension, as the uneven wear noted on the nearside and offside tyres often points to tracking-out geometry or worn suspension bushes. Given the mileage and the specific model-trim, the brake system should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, which are common on heavy vehicles of this class. The focus should remain on verifying that the high-mileage components have been maintained according to schedule despite the reactive approach to basic tyre replacements.
