2015 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · AP64 BNU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes over the last several years. The most recent test in December 2025 at 37,520 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle remains in excellent condition. This stability suggests that the mechanical has been maintained to a high standard, avoiding the recurring mechanical failures often seen in older vehicles of this type. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old Defender, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. Between January 2022 and December 2025, the vehicle covered 12,954 miles, showing a pattern of infrequent use. The short interval between the February 2024 and December 2024 tests shows an accumulation of 1,925 miles, consistent with the annual average. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, it increases the risk of rubber-based degradation and fluid stagnation due to long periods of standing. Given the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age and low-mileage use. A buyer must check for perished rubber bushes in the suspension, cracked tyre sidewalls, and brake caliper corrosion resulting from lack of regular use. Particular attention should be paid to the chassis and mounting rails for corrosion, as the MOT only inspects for rust that would compromise structural integrity. Verifying that fluid seals remain intact is essential to ensure the low mileage has not led to seal shrinkage or leaks.
