2007 Land Rover Defender 2.4L Diesel · BP07 KWG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 with 120,019 miles. The maintenance trend appears currently stable following a period of volatility in late 2024. While the vehicle suffered two consecutive failures in November and December 2024, the subsequent pass without any recorded defects indicates that the identified mechanical issues were addressed and the vehicle now meets the minimum legal standards for road use. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 120,019 miles represents an average usage of approximately 6,317 miles per year. This figure is consistent with low-intensity use for a Defender, which typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components. Between December 2023 and December 2024, the vehicle covered 2,680 miles, suggesting a period of lower activity, followed by another 3,091 miles covered in the following year. This pattern shows a consistent usage signature that does not suggest rapid accumulation of stress on the chassis between tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the 2024 failures, as the record does not detail the exact nature of those rejections. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the structural integrity is mandatory, specifically looking for corrosion on the chassis and mounting points where rust is common in this model. The inspector should also evaluate the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components, as these parts often degrade due to age regardless of low mileage.
