2011 Land Rover Defender 2.4L Diesel · GD11 FVL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 16 December 2025 at 50,405 miles resulted in no defects, maintaining a stable maintenance trend of perfect results over the last four years. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from the recurring mechanical failures typically associated with older Land Rover models. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,360 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 46,610 miles and December 2025 at 50,405 miles, the vehicle covered only 3,795 miles over a three-year period. While this low usage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the infrequent intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, or surface corrosion on exposed brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Despite the clean DVSA records, a physical inspection must focus on components sensitive to age and low-mileage use. The buyer should examine the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly in the rear crossmember and mounting points where moisture often accumulates regardless of mileage. Given the low usage, inspect the suspension bushes and rubber boots for cracking or tearing, as these materials dry out over time rather than wearing through friction. Checking brake fluid for moisture content and ensuring tyres have not perished is also essential to ensure the vehicle remains reliable.
