MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Land Rover Defender (GIW 2865) between April 2006 and October 2024.

The record contains 18 passes and 10 failures.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Body component damaged and likely to cause injury (6.2.1 (a) (i))”; “Exhaust emissions exceed level of metered smoke for a non-turbo charged engine (8.2.2.2 (b))”; “Nearside Rear reflector defective or damaged by more than 50% of the reflecting surface (4.8.1 (a) (ii))”.
