2021 Land Rover Defender HSE Auto 2.0L Petrol · CA70 VLG

The vehicle received a PASS at the most recent MOT on 13 January 2026 at 44 582 miles, with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance pattern and current roadworthiness. The preceding tests on 13 January 2025 (35 572 miles) and 16 January 2024 (26 077 miles) also returned PASS results, showing a consistent lack of recurring faults and confirming that the vehicle has been kept within acceptable limits throughout its service life. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a five‑year‑old Defender, averaging roughly 9 000 miles per year. The annual testing schedule—January 2024, January 2025 and January 2026—demonstrates regular compliance checks, while the steady mileage rise suggests normal wear rather than abrupt or excessive usage. No gaps or anomalies in the record are evident, reinforcing a disciplined ownership approach. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should conduct a hands‑on inspection of key wear‑prone areas. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive wear, assess brake discs and calipers for uneven thickness or binding, and check the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks. Visualise the under‑body for structural rust, particularly around wheel arches and sill plates, and verify tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition. These checks will confirm that the vehicle’s mechanical and structural integrity remains sound beyond the MOT’s pass criteria.
