2016 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · FO11 LLY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on November 3 2025 at 12,430 miles which passed with no recorded defects. While the record shows a technical failure on that same date, the immediate pass suggests a minor administrative or superficial issue that was rectified instantly without indicating deeper mechanical decline. The overall history remains clean with no recurring faults or advisories across the last several years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,243 miles per year. There is a significant gap between September 2020 and September 2023 tests, during which the vehicle covered only 281 miles over three years. However, usage has increased recently, with 3,495 miles clocked between March 2023 and November 2025. This pattern suggests the vehicle likely spent long periods stationary, which is a common concern for Land Rover products as it can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry despite low mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focusing on issues associated with low-mileage stationary vehicles. Check for dry-rotted tyres, perished hoses, and seized brake calipers which often result from lack of use. Inspect the chassis and suspension bushings for surface corrosion that may have developed during storage periods, as the MOT only flags significant structural decay. Given the low mileage, verify that the service history confirms regular oil changes based on intervals rather than just mileage to ensure the engine and drivetrain remain properly lubricated.
