MOT Analysis

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

29 MOT tests are recorded for this 1992 Land Rover Defender (K503 GYD) between August 2006 and February 2023.

The record contains 15 passes and 14 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (34 issues), Lighting (34 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (13 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Windscreen (10 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Rear reflector missing (4.8.2 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Direction indicator not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Drag link end ball joint dust cover insecure so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt on steering box (”.
