2022 Land Rover Defender 75TH Lmtd ED D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · FD72 YGM

This 2022 Land Rover Defender 75th Limited Edition passed its most recent MOT on 22 December 2025 with no defects recorded. At 33,370 miles, the vehicle is running at a typical rate of wear for its age—roughly 8,300 miles per year—which suggests normal use rather than severe duty or prolonged standing. The MOT record provided covers only the most recent test, so there is no longer-term trend visible. The clean pass is encouraging and indicates the vehicle has met the required safety and emissions standards as of late December 2025. However, a single MOT snapshot does not reveal much about the overall maintenance history or any underlying wear that may not yet have triggered a failure or advisory. At just over four years old with moderate mileage, this Defender is still relatively young. The main risk areas to investigate in person are the items that may not show up as MOT failures until they have deteriorated significantly: suspension components (ball joints, bushes, and dampers), brake disc and pad condition, fluid leaks from the engine bay and undercarriage, and the state of the windscreen and wipers. Given the Defender's reputation for robust build quality but also for salt and moisture ingress in older examples, pay close attention to corrosion on the underside, around the door seals, and on any exposed metal work. Check the service history carefully to confirm regular oil and filter changes, coolant top-ups, and any repairs carried out between MOTs. Verify that the hybrid battery and electric motor systems have been properly maintained if this is a plug-in or mild-hybrid variant.
