Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Land Rover Defender (FG05 WGD) between April 2008 and May 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 9 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (21 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Steering (6 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Tyres (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
