MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 1993 Land Rover Defender (L960 WCC) between November 2005 and June 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 09 June 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (21 issues), Brakes (15 issues), Windscreen (11 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Suspension (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 41 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 Stub axle has excessive vertical movement between stub axle and axle beam (5.1.2 (c) (i))”; “Offside Front Brake hose ferrule excessively corroded (1.1.12 (f) (i))”; “Nearside Front Brake hose ferrule excessively corroded (1.1.12 (f) (i))”.
