2015 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · HF65 TEG

The Land Rover Defender presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 6 October 2025 at 46,895 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The vehicle carries no recorded defects or advisories in any test, and the latest pass came only days after a failed attempt on 30 September 2025 at 46,892 miles that also listed no defects, indicating the failure was administrative rather than mechanical. Prior tests in September 2024 and September 2023 passed without fault, showing consistent annual compliance. Recorded mileage stands at 46,895 against an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,263 miles per year. The tester logged 34,476 miles on 18 September 2023, rising to 40,728 by 23 September 2024 and 46,895 by October 2025, a steady annual gain near 6,000 miles with no abrupt accumulation. Low overall use suggests prolonged standing periods are possible, though the clean history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of chassis outriggers, bulkhead, and door pillars for corrosion, as Defenders of this era are prone to structural rust even when MOTs stay clear. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks for age-related degradation from low-mileage storage. The twin 2023 and 2025 fail-pass pairs with zero defects imply clerical or presentation issues at test rather than owner neglect, but verify the V5C and service book to confirm the low mileage is genuine.
