2006 Land Rover Defender 90 TD5 2.5L Heavy oil · A6 PMC

The 2006 Land Rover Defender 90 has a clean MOT history, with all recorded tests from 2021 to 2026 showing "PASSED" status and no defects. The most recent MOT on 2026-03-30, at 18,609 miles, confirms the vehicle met safety and emissions standards. This suggests no immediate mechanical failures or critical issues were identified in the latest inspection. The MOT records show a consistent pattern of passing inspections over nearly five years, with no recurring defects or advisories. The vehicle’s mileage of 18,609 miles over 20 years equates to roughly 930 miles per year, which is unusually low for its age. This could indicate light use, infrequent driving, or periods of storage. While low mileage often correlates with less wear on components like brakes and suspension, it may also lead to issues such as dry rot, fluid degradation, or electrical system stagnation if the vehicle has not been regularly driven. The trend in MOT results is stable, with no evidence of worsening conditions. However, the lack of recent high-mileage stress means the vehicle’s mechanical state may not reflect typical usage patterns. Buyers should be cautious about potential hidden issues arising from under-use, such as degraded rubber components, battery health, or corrosion in less-frequently-used systems.
