2022 Land Rover Defender SE D Mhev Auto 3.0L Diesel · DO12 SAR

The vehicle maintains a passing roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 21 October 2025. At 39,562 miles, the vehicle passed without any recorded mechanical failures or advisories. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the tester noted that central-manufactured engine and body covers restricted a full inspection of internal components. This limitation means the physical state of the engine block, hoses, and lower chassis was not fully verified during the test. The recorded mileage of 39,562 miles over four years averages to approximately 9,890 miles per annum. This figure aligns closely with typical annual usage patterns for a modern SUV, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive heavy-duty work or long-distance commuting. The most recent test was conducted only eight months prior to the current date, indicating the vehicle is currently within its testing cycle and is being used for regular transport. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the areas that were obscured during the October 2025 test. Given the Defender's design, it is essential to check for signs of oil leaks around the engine manifold and transmission housing that the tester could not reach. While the MOT record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake wear, a manual check of the suspension bushes and coil springs remains advisable to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying degradation or neglect of rubber components.
