2015 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · GY65 HVB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT documentation. The September 2025 test at 65,550 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed test just two days prior at 65,545 miles. This pattern suggests that minor issues, likely related to consumables or lighting, were identified and rectified immediately to achieve compliance. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an 11-year-old Land Rover Defender. The vehicle has covered 65,550 miles, averaging approximately 5,959 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with the mileage increasing from 56,419 miles in September 2023 to 59,149 miles in June 2024, and finally reaching 65,550 miles by September 2025. This steady, low-intensity usage pattern is generally favourable for mechanical longevity. While the MOT history is clean of structural or heavy mechanical failures, the low annual mileage suggests the vehicle may have spent periods stationary. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of rubber components, specifically the suspension bushes, drive shafts, and various air intake hoses, as these often perish due to age and lack of movement rather than wear. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion or braking issues in the recent records is a positive indicator. However, given the vehicle's age and the specific nature of the Defender chassis, a detailed inspection of the vehicle's underside is necessary to check for structural rust or significant oxidation on the chassis rails and mounting points. Checking for any signs of fluid leaks from the drivetrain or engine would also be prudent to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in seal degradation.
