2015 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · GS65 CGS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 February 2026 at 93,011 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently met minimum standards despite minor recent setbacks. The failure recorded on 2 February 2026, just three miles prior to the pass, suggests a minor administrative issue or a trivial component defect that was rectified immediately before the re-test, rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. At 93,011 miles over 11 years, the Defender averages approximately 8,456 miles per year. This aligns closely with typical usage patterns for a Land Rover of this age. The data shows a consistent accumulation of mileage, with 1,285 miles covered between January 2024 and February 2025, and another 1,640 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is often beneficial for preventing seals from drying out or components seizing due to inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as these are common areas of concern for Defenders at this mileage. While the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults, the lack of advisories in the last two tests indicates a vehicle free of immediate corrosion or worn bushings. Given the age, checking the condition of the coil springs, shock absorbers, and brake lines remains essential to ensure no hidden wear exists that the standard MOT inspection might not capture.
