2021 Land Rover Defender Hard TOP HSE D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · AO71 PUX

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 7 May 2026 at 73,320 miles. This test passed with no recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has successfully maintained the vehicle to DVSA safety standards. The absence of any advisories in the last two tests suggests that mechanical and structural components are currently operating within their designed parameters. The mileage profile reflects a high rate of use, averaging approximately 14,600 miles per year over its five-year life. Between the November 2024 test at 60,289 miles and the May 2026 test, the vehicle covered 13,031 miles in just 18 months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent long-distance driving rather than periods of inactivity, which often results in better condition for engine components and seals compared to low-mileage vehicles. While the MOT record is currently clean, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of heavy-wear components specific to the Defender platform. A buyer should verify the condition of the air suspension bellows for signs of leaking or perished rubber, as these are common failure points at this mileage. Given the consistent usage, a thorough check of brake disc thickness and pad wear for uneven glazing is also warranted, as the MOT does not measure remaining life of these consumables.
