2010 Land Rover Defender 2.4L Diesel · AF60 WDR

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 71,498 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, moving from a period of minor consumable failures in previous years to a clean sheet in the latest inspection. The absence of defects in the final test suggests that the owner has addressed the outstanding mechanical issues identified in earlier tests. At 71,498 miles over 16 years, the Defender has averaged approximately 4,469 miles per year. This low-mileage profile is significant for a vehicle of this age and typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The record shows consistent annual usage with intervals of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles between the tests conducted from 2021 to 2025. However, low-frequency use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry, given the worn rear upper shock absorber bushes noted in December 2023 at 64,480 miles. While these were minor, the recurring mention of uneven tyre wear in 2022 and 2024 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushings elsewhere that require verification. The physical inspection must also focus on the chassis for structural corrosion common to this model, as the MOT record does not detail the state of the frame beyond the basic pass criteria.
