2021 Land Rover Defender Xdynamic HSE D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · JA57 EAD

The Land Rover Defender presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 September 2025 at 74,957 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 9 April 2025 at 74,383 miles and an earlier pass on 17 April 2024 at 54,978 miles. Three consecutive MOT passes with zero advisories indicate the vehicle has not shown recurring mechanical or structural faults across the recorded period. Mileage data shows roughly 19,975 miles added between April 2024 and April 2025, then only 574 miles from April to September 2025. The annual average of about 14,991 miles sits high for a 2021 model, pointing to sustained motorway or commercial-style use in the first three years. The near-static mileage across the last two tests suggests the car was barely driven in mid-2025, which can allow brake discs to develop surface corrosion or calipers to seize if left standing. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the high early mileage and recent lay-up. Check the underbody and chassis mounts for structural corrosion, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. The clean MOT record offers reassurance, but the low recent use warrants a physical check of tyres, brake disc condition, and fluid levels before purchase.
