2015 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · B194 NDY

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a perfectly stable maintenance trend across its recorded history. The most recent test conducted on 4 March 2025 passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all statutory safety and environmental standards. This consistency over the last three tests suggests a vehicle that has been maintained without the mechanical failures that typically plague older Land Rover models. The recorded mileage of 5,709 miles over an 11-year period is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 519 miles per year. The gaps between the May 2022, August 2023, and March 2025 tests reflect a pattern where the vehicle likely sits for long periods or is used only for occasional trips. While this low mileage implies minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and brakes, it also introduces risks related to the degradation of materials that are not fully captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of rubber components and fluids that suffer from age rather than use. Check for cracking in the tyre sidewalls, suspension bushes, and brake hoses, which perish over time regardless of mileage. The braking system should be examined for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as long-standing vehicles often suffer from seized pistons. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis for surface rust, ensuring the lack of use has not allowed moisture to settle in the frame rails.
