2021 Land Rover Defender Xdynamic HSE D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · FJ71 YMX

The Land Rover Defender presented a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent examination. The tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded on 10 October 2025 at 43,699 miles. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults carried forward between tests. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a five-year-old vehicle. The record shows 29,540 miles at the 6 September 2024 test, rising to 43,255 miles by 1 September 2025 and 43,699 miles nine days later. That equates to roughly 14,000 miles in the year to September 2025, above the long-run average of 8,740 annually but not abnormal for mixed-use driving. The DVSA data is sparse, with only three entries and no faults logged, so no wear pattern can be inferred from failures. The 1 September 2025 failure at 43,255 miles shows no defects recorded, indicating the rejection stemmed from administrative or non-mechanical grounds such as a documentation mismatch rather than a worn component. A buyer should still verify the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition in person, as these items draw no comment in the record and may simply be untested under fault-free passes. Given the clean trail, previous ownership appears to have kept basic upkeep current. Inspect underneath for corrosion and check the exhaust emissions and structural integrity on a ramp, since the short MOT span leaves those areas lightly evidenced.
