2021 Land Rover Defender SE D Mhev Auto 3.0L Diesel · GU21 VLD

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all three MOT tests passing without defects. The most recent 2025-04-09 assessment at 12,821 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior clean results from 2024-05-09 (7,799 miles) and 2023-10-10 (7,294 miles). No recurring mechanical or structural faults were flagged across the 18-month period, indicating consistent maintenance and absence of critical failures. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-preserved, though low mileage raises questions about long-term component wear. The mileage pattern shows a gradual increase, with 7,294 miles recorded in 2023 and 12,821 miles in 2025, reflecting an average annual usage of 2,564 miles. A notable gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests—1,505 miles over 7 months—may indicate periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components. The sudden jump to 12,821 miles in 2025, however, suggests recent increased usage, potentially exposing older parts to higher stress. The MOT history lacks anomalies, but the sparse data limits insight into potential hidden issues from prolonged storage. A buyer should inspect for signs of inactivity-related deterioration, such as dry or cracked suspension components, corroded brake calipers, or seized joints. The low mileage may have preserved major systems but could also mask wear in less frequently used parts. No structural corrosion or exhaust emissions issues were noted, and the clean MOT record confirms compliance with safety standards. While the vehicle appears mechanically sound, a physical inspection is advised to verify the condition of rubber seals, fluid levels, and chassis integrity, which may not be evident from the MOT data alone.
