2022 Land Rover Defender V8 Auto 5.0L Petrol · DK22 WKT

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the latest inspection on 11 June 2025 resulting in a clean pass without any defects or advisories. This absence of flagged issues indicates that the vehicle has maintained its structural and mechanical integrity up to the point of its last official test, showing no chronic failures or recurring faults. The recorded mileage of 53,532 miles is high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,383 miles per annum. This usage profile suggests a vehicle that has been used extensively, which typically leads to accelerated wear on consumables and high-stress components such as the brake system, suspension linkages, and the V8 drivetrain compared to lower-mileage counterparts. Given the high mileage and the clean MOT history, the physical inspection should focus on the current state of wear-and-tear items that may not yet have reached the threshold of an MOT failure. During a test drive, pay close attention to the air suspension system for any hesitation during height adjustments or unusual knocks over uneven surfaces. Ensure the braking performance is consistent and free from pedal judder, which would indicate worn brake discs. Further attention should be paid to the automatic transmission and drivetrain. Listen for any unusual whining or clunks during gear transitions or under heavy acceleration, which can be indicative of drivetrain stress associated with higher mileage V8 models. A thorough visual check of the underbody for any fresh oil misting around the engine seals or drivetrain components is recommended to ensure the vehicle continues to match its clean testing record.
