2010 Land Rover Defender 2.4L Diesel · CV60 PXG

The Land Rover Defender presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 8 January 2026 at 117,826 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared every annual test from 2023 through 2026 without a single advisory or defect noted. A failed test on 5 January 2026 at 117,825 miles recorded no defects, and the same vehicle passed three days later, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 7,364 miles per year for a 2010 vehicle now at 117,826 miles. The records show steady, low accumulation: 108,272 miles in January 2023, 111,447 in January 2024, 114,524 in January 2025, and 117,826 in January 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the sequence. The clean sheet across five years suggests the previous keeper kept the drivetrain, suspension, and structure within test limits, though the absence of advisories means wear items were either replaced preemptively or remained beneath threshold. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of chassis outriggers, bulkhead, and footwells for corrosion, as Defenders of this era suffer structural rust even when MOTs stay clean. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue not yet flagged by testers. The January 2026 fail with zero defects warrants confirmation that the V5C and test certificate align and no mileage discrepancy exists. Given the sparse but unbroken pass record, the vehicle shows no worsening pattern and no recurring mechanical trend. Verify service history against the low annual use, since standing periods can degrade seals and brake calipers despite a clear MOT trail.
