2021 Land Rover Defender Hard TOP D Mhev Auto 3.0L Diesel · AB21 APB

The vehicle presents a stable and highly positive maintenance trend, demonstrating consistent roadworthiness. The most recent MOT test on 22 January 2026 at 49,701 miles passed with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health indicates the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards without any immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the April 2024 test at 31,475 miles and the April 2025 test at 44,208 miles, the vehicle covered 12,733 miles. This dropped slightly to 5,493 miles over the subsequent nine months leading to the January 2026 test. There are no alarming gaps in the testing history or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest prolonged standing or excessive short-journey use. Because the MOT record contains zero advisories or failures, there are no recurring mechanical faults demanding specific scrutiny. A vehicle of this type and mileage warrants a standard pre-purchase inspection focusing on typical Defender wear points. Examine the chassis and structural mounting points for corrosion, particularly around the rear crossmember and bulkhead areas, as these can deteriorate regardless of MOT outcomes. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for premature wear, and check the brake discs and calipers for any signs of binding or uneven pad wear that might not yet constitute a testable fault.
