2014 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · EO07 BON

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 27 August 2025 at 37,651 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance regime where the vehicle has consistently met safety and emission standards without recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns over the last five years of recorded testing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old Defender, averaging approximately 3,138 miles per year. Between October 2021 and August 2025, the vehicle covered only 12,725 miles, with a significant jump of 5,466 miles in the final year alone. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly or sat stationary for extended periods. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation of rubber components, dried seals, and surface corrosion on brake discs due to lack of regular use. Because the MOT record shows no historical faults, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to age rather than mileage. A buyer should specifically examine the chassis and mounting points for surface or deep corrosion, as these vehicles are prone to moisture retention if not treated. The suspension bushes and rubber boot covers should be checked for cracking or perish, which frequently occurs in older vehicles regardless of low mileage. Additionally, verifying the age of the tyres and the condition of the brake fluid is essential to ensure the vehicle has not deteriorated during its long intervals of inactivity.
