2020 Land Rover Defender SE D Auto 2.0L Diesel · DA20 DPY

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 November 2025 at 32,431 miles recorded no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a passing standard without triggering the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in older Defenders. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles annually. Between the June 2023 test at 21,147 miles and the July 2024 test at 25,642 miles, the vehicle covered 4,495 miles in just thirteen months. The subsequent interval saw 6,789 miles leading to the November 2025 test. This pattern suggests light use or long periods of inactivity, which generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mile examples. While the record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on the risks associated with low-mileage usage. A buyer must check for flat-spotted tyres or brake corrosion which can occur if the vehicle sits for extended periods. The tester should also inspect the rubber bushings and suspension components for cracking, as these materials degrade through age regardless of distance driven. Given the lack of structural advisories to date, the chassis appears sound, but a check of the fluid levels and seals is necessary to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from seal degradation.
