2015 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · CY15 FCO

The 2015 Land Rover Defender presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across the five most recent annual tests. The June 2025 test at 65,650 miles passed cleanly with no advisories, continuing an unbroken pass sequence from 2021. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening mechanical faults or recurring failure patterns. Annual mileage sits at roughly 5,968 miles per year against an 11-year age, a low figure for this model. The records show gentle accumulation: 60,955 miles in June 2021 rising to 65,650 by June 2025, a total of 4,695 miles over four years. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the sequence, and each test returned a pass with no defects logged, indicating the previous keeper kept the vehicle lightly used and presented it for timely annual testing. A clean MOT history with zero advisories limits the inspector's ability to flag specific worn components from the record alone. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of chassis outriggers, bulkhead, and footwells for corrosion, as Defenders of this era are prone to structural rust even when test records stay clear. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs should be visually checked for standing-age deterioration given the low use. The absence of any flagged tyres, wiper blades, or exhaust emissions failures suggests basic consumables were renewed before each test. This implies a conscientious ownership pattern rather than deferred upkeep. Verify service invoices to confirm drivetrain lubrication intervals, since low mileage does not exempt the drivetrain from age-related degradation.
