MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 1992 Land Rover Defender (K115 ESH) between July 2006 and September 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 04 September 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (47 issues), Suspension (45 issues), Brakes (23 issues), Bodywork (9 issues), Tyres (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 141 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”; “Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”; “Offside Rear Vehicle structure has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountin”.
