2006 Land Rover Defender 2.5L Diesel · CK56 LGZ

The vehicle's most recent MOT in 2025 shows excessive corrosion on both nearside and offside vehicle structures, seriously affecting their strength. This is a significant safety concern and the most serious issue in the MOT history. The recurring pattern of defective anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers, first noted in 2023, suggests a mechanical wear trend. The trend appears to be worsening, as the corrosion issue is a major safety concern and the vehicle has failed its most recent MOT. The mileage relative to age is roughly typical, but the presence of significant mechanical wear issues suggests that the vehicle may have been used harder than average or experienced periods of under-use that accelerated wear. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's vehicle structure and chassis for signs of corrosion, paying particular attention to areas within 30cm of body mountings. They should also check the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers for deterioration and inspect the seat belts for damage or fraying.
