MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

32 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Land Rover Defender (C6 TTD) between February 2006 and July 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 10 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (35 issues), Lighting (28 issues), Brakes (25 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (9 issues), Steering (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 109 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Track rod end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged or deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingres”; “Horn not working (7.7 (a))”; “Nearside Windscreen wiper not working (3.4 (a))”.
