2021 Land Rover Defender Auto 2.0L Petrol · GL21 DVN

The 2026‑03‑30 MOT at 47,520 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Defender remains roadworthy at the time of testing. Maintenance history shows a stable condition, as the most recent test contains no failures, though an earlier SRS warning lamp on 2025‑04‑01 at the same mileage indicated a supplementary restraint system fault that was presumably addressed before the March 2026 inspection. The vehicle is five years old and has accumulated roughly 9,500 miles per year, a rate that aligns with typical usage but is evident in the mileage jumps between tests. From the 2024‑04‑09 test at 27,558 miles to the 2025‑04‑01 test at 37,941 miles, the odometer rose by 10,383 miles in just over eleven months, and the subsequent increase to 47,520 miles by 2026‑03‑30 adds another 9,579 miles in a year, suggesting heavy annual use that can accelerate wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake components and the drivetrain. A buyer should therefore prioritize inspection of the airbag and seatbelt systems that triggered the 2025‑04‑01 SRS warning, checking wiring harnesses, control modules and pretensioner operation for corrosion or damage. In addition, given the high mileage, a thorough examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers for binding, brake discs for wear or surface rust, and the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks is essential, as these components are prone to deterioration under sustained use.
