2021 Land Rover Defender Hard TOP D Mhev Auto 3.0L Diesel · HV71 AWA

The most recent MOT on 25 September 2025 at 26,160 miles recorded a Pass with no advisories, confirming the Defender is presently road‑worthy. With two consecutive annual tests both passing without defects, the maintenance trend appears stable and shows no indication of deterioration. From its first registration in early 2021 to the latest test, the vehicle has accumulated 26,160 miles, averaging roughly 5,200 miles per year. The mileage progression from 20,150 miles at the September 2024 test to 26,160 miles a year later reflects a modest increase of 6,010 miles, consistent with low‑to‑moderate use. No abrupt spikes or unusually long gaps are evident, suggesting the car has not been subjected to high‑stress mileage or prolonged idle periods. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of consumables that the MOT does not record, such as tyre tread depth, brake pads and discs, and suspension components including bushes and coil springs. Inspection of the under‑carriage for any early corrosion, particularly around the chassis and exhaust mounts, is prudent given the vehicle’s age despite its low mileage. Confirm that the electronic hybrid system operates without fault codes and that the steering and steering rack feel free of play. These checks will ensure that the Defender’s mechanical integrity aligns with the clean MOT history.
