2012 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · L7 AHF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, maintaining a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 June 2025 at 123,287 miles passed with zero defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet suggests that the previous owner maintained a proactive approach to vehicle upkeep, addressing potential issues before they escalated into failures or required formal MOT advisories. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 14-year-old Land Rover, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per annum. Between February 2021 at 113,915 miles and June 2025 at 123,287 miles, the vehicle covered 9,372 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage pattern. The intervals of roughly 1,800 to 2,300 miles between tests indicate the car was used regularly, which often helps prevent the dry seals and brake corrosion typically seen in vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must still perform a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, as the Defender is prone to hidden corrosion in the chassis rails and crossmembers that a standard MOT may not fully expose. Focus on the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components endure significant stress over time regardless of a clean test result. Given the age and mileage, checking for fluid leaks around the transfer box and the condition of the drivetrain boots remains essential to ensure the mechanical condition matches the positive digital record.
