2021 Land Rover Defender SE D Mhev Auto 3.0L Diesel · AX21 PSO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 17 July 2025 at 52,736 miles with no defects recorded, following a failed test just two days earlier on 15 July 2025 at 52,734 miles. This indicates a resolving trend rather than a worsening one, as the faults identified in the failed test were rectified within a short timeframe. The maintenance pattern appears stable, with no recurring issues evident across the limited history available. At roughly five years old with 52,736 recorded miles, the Defender averages approximately 10,547 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for its age. The mileage accumulation appears steady rather than erratic, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive high-mileage driving. The MOT history is sparse, covering only the past two days, which limits the ability to assess long-term maintenance consistency. Given the recent failure and subsequent pass, a buyer should focus on inspecting the components that commonly require attention on this model. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or deterioration, examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and verify that the rear brakes are not binding. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion and review the structural integrity around the chassis rails and mounting points, particularly if the vehicle has been used off-road or in coastal conditions.
