Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
The primary focus for any buyer should be the chassis and braking system. The 2026 MOT specifically mentions brake pipes being 'covered in grease or other material', which can sometimes be used to mask the extent of corrosion; a professional inspection is recommended to determine the actual state of the metal.
Verify if any specialist undersealing or rust-proofing treatments have been applied, as this is critical for the longevity of a 2014 Defender. Given the very low mileage, ensure the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to seal degradation or battery issues.
Equipped with a 2.2L diesel engine, this vehicle will have higher annual road tax and fuel costs than a modern equivalent. Insurance groups for the Defender are generally moderate to high, and maintenance costs can be significant if chassis corrosion progresses beyond surface level.
Typical annual running costs will include diesel fuel, road tax, and insurance, alongside a budget for preventative rust treatment. Based on the vehicle's age and specifications, these costs are estimated to be relatively high compared to standard utility vehicles.
Carefully inspect the chassis for the 'surface corrosion' noted in the January 2026 MOT. Use a torch and a probe to ensure the corrosion is indeed superficial and has not developed into structural pitting or holes.
Examine the nearside and offside front brake pipes. Because the MOT record mentions they are covered in grease or other material, these should be cleaned and inspected to ensure they are not dangerously thinned. Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and function, as these are among the top failure reasons for this model according to aggregate data.
This 2014 grey Land Rover Defender has covered just 21,008 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. It has a record of five consecutive MOT passes, though the most recent test in January 2026 introduced advisories for surface chassis corrosion and corroded brake pipes.
The Land Rover Defender has an average MOT pass rate of 78.1%, with corrosion and brake pipe failures being among the most common issues.
