2022 Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic S D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · DK15 AAC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-13 at 18,103 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior day’s failure at 18,102 miles, also without recorded defects, raises questions about the accuracy of the test outcome. The absence of specific issues in both tests suggests either a technical anomaly or a misclassification, but the lack of recurring mechanical faults in the history implies no immediate structural or safety risks. The mileage pattern shows a significant jump from 15,293 miles in 2025 to 18,103 miles in 2026, reflecting an annual increase of 2,810 miles. This contrasts with the car’s four-year total of 18,103 miles, averaging 4,526 miles per year—well below the typical usage for its age. Such low mileage may indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues like battery degradation or fluid stagnation. The sparse MOT history, with only three entries, limits the ability to assess long-term maintenance trends. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, for signs of wear given the low mileage and potential inactivity. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should also be checked for corrosion or binding, as these can develop during periods of limited use. While the MOT records show no active faults, the abrupt mileage increase and minimal testing history warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
