2023 Land Rover Defender 75TH Limitd ED Phev A 2.0L Hybrid electric · CH11 PJS

The vehicle presents a stable and largely reassuring roadworthiness profile, with its most recent MOT conducted on 23 February 2026 at 15,907 miles resulting in a clean pass. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring or worsening mechanical faults. The tester recorded two minor advisories: a windscreen defect not affecting the driver's view and a shallow cut to the nearside rear tyre that did not expose the ply or cords. Both are superficial and do not indicate structural or mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2023-registration vehicle, averaging approximately 5,302 miles per year. Such low annual use suggests light duties and minimal daily wear, but it also raises the possibility of prolonged periods of standing. Short-trip use and infrequent driving can accelerate certain issues, including battery drain, brake surface corrosion, and localised moisture ingress in seals or bearings. There are no mileage gaps or sudden spikes to suggest odometer tampering; the single recorded test at the current mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, though the lack of earlier MOT entries limits a full trend analysis. Prospective buyers should inspect the windscreen carefully, as stone chips or lamination damage can propagate over time and lead to costly replacement. The advisory on the nearside rear tyre warrants close examination of the sidewall for any deepening of the cut or bulging, which could indicate internal damage. Given the low mileage and potential for intermittent use, it is prudent to check for uneven brake disc corrosion, sticking calipers, and the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, which can deteriorate from age and lack of regular loading rather than mileage alone. A thorough underbody inspection for surface corrosion on the chassis and mounting points is also advisable, as even low-mileage off-road vehicles can suffer from environmental exposure.
