2011 Land Rover Defender 2.4L Diesel · GU61 VFD

The September 29, 2025 MOT at 46,775 miles records a pass with no defects, matching the outcomes of the September 2024, June 2023 and March 2022 tests, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no evidence of worsening or improving conditions. The mileage increase from 43,473 miles in March 2022 to 46,775 miles in September 2025 represents an average annual rise of about 1,100 miles, well below the typical 10,000‑mile yearly average for a 15‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting light use or extended periods of inactivity and no major gaps in the record. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, sagging coil springs and any play in the shock absorbers, as these components often exhibit early wear on high‑mileage Defenders despite the clean record, and on the brake assembly for binding calipers, uneven disc wear or excessive pad wear that may not appear in a standard test. Finally, a thorough visual inspection of the chassis, underbody and wheel arches for corrosion, especially around structural members and suspension mounting points, together with a check of the exhaust system for leaks or abnormal noise, will verify that the vehicle’s actual condition aligns with its immaculate MOT history.
