2012 Land Rover Defender 2.5L Diesel · AF12 JZM

The Land Rover Defender presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 June 2025 at 124,136 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from 2021 through 2025. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2012 vehicle, averaging roughly 8,867 miles per year against the recorded 124,136 miles. The records show no gaps or abrupt accumulation: the tester logged 96,672 miles in June 2021, 109,786 in June 2022, 113,667 in July 2023, 118,672 in June 2024, and 124,136 in June 2025. The sparse but consistent history gives no indication of neglected intervals or standing periods. No advisories or failures appear across the supplied tests, so the MOT record alone reveals no recurring suspension, braking, or structural corrosion issues. A clean pass sheet does not certify component condition below test thresholds, however. A buyer should still inspect the chassis and bulkhead for structural rust given Defender age, check suspension bushes and coil springs for off-road wear, and verify brake disc thickness and caliper operation. Confirming service history alongside this fault-free MOT trail will clarify whether the previous owners kept up upkeep beyond the annual test requirement.
