1988 Land Rover Defender 2.5L Diesel · E37 WKH

The 1988 Land Rover Defender has a clean MOT history, with all recorded tests from 2021 to 2025 showing "PASSED" status and no defects. The most recent MOT on 2025-08-08 confirmed the vehicle’s compliance at 115,464 miles. This consistency suggests no immediate safety or repair risks based on the available data. The vehicle’s mileage of 115,464 miles over 38 years equates to an average of 3,039 miles per year, which is significantly lower than typical usage for its age. This low mileage could indicate infrequent use, long periods of inactivity, or storage, which may lead to issues like rubber component degradation or corrosion. However, the absence of defects in all MOT records mitigates concerns about active wear or mechanical failure. The trend in MOT results shows stability, with no recurring issues or escalating defects. The mileage increases between tests are minimal (e.g., 1,061 miles between 2021 and 2022), reinforcing the impression of low usage. While this could signal under-use rather than heavy wear, the lack of recorded problems means there is no evidence of deterioration. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the vehicle’s suspension, brakes, and electrical systems, as these components can degrade during periods of inactivity.
