2021 Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic HSE Auto 2.0L Petrol · KC21 FFU

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health at its most recent MOT on 20 January 2026, recording 34,680 miles with zero defects. That is a strong result, especially given the three failures logged just eighteen months earlier. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. The 2024 test flagged three separate tyre punctures, yet by January 2025 the car passed with no issues at 25,932 miles, and the January 2026 test repeated that clean sheet. This suggests the previous owner addressed the tyre damage promptly and has kept on top of basic consumable upkeep since. The mileage accumulation is steady and unremarkable. Between the June 2024 test at 21,441 miles and the January 2025 test at 25,932 miles, the vehicle covered 4,491 miles in roughly seven months. From January 2025 to January 2026, it added 8,748 miles, bringing the annual total to around 8,750 miles for that year. Over its five-year life, the car has averaged approximately 6,936 miles per year, which sits comfortably within typical use for a Defender of this age. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the record that would raise concerns about long periods of standing or odometer anomalies. The 2024 failures were all tyre-related punctures rather than structural or mechanical defects, which is relatively minor. However, three nails in a single test does hint at the vehicle being driven on rough or debris-strewn surfaces, so a buyer should inspect the tyre sidewalls for embedded objects, bulges, or uneven wear before purchase. Given the Defender's off-road capability, it is also worth checking the underbody for stone damage to the exhaust, fuel lines, and suspension bushes, even though none of these appeared on the MOT. The clean 2025 and 2026 tests suggest the car has been well maintained in recent years, but a thorough test drive over varied surfaces remains advisable to confirm there are no emerging issues with the drivetrain, transmission, or steering that a static inspection might miss.
