2022 Land Rover Defender V8 Carpathian ED A 5.0L Petrol · LD22 FNK

This 2022 Land Rover Defender V8 Carpathian Edition currently holds a valid MOT, having passed its most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 55,275 miles with only a single minor advisory. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recorded test failures across its two available MOT entries, and the October 2025 test recorded a minor advisory for worn, pitted front inner brake discs that are not seriously weakened. The vehicle’s recorded mileage sits at 55,275 miles after roughly four years of use, equating to an average annual mileage of approximately 13,819 miles, which is elevated for a vehicle of this age. Between its March 2025 MOT at 50,865 miles and October 2025 test, it covered 4,410 miles in just under seven months, a consistent pace that aligns with its overall annual average. The available MOT history is limited to these two recent entries, with no earlier test records provided to assess maintenance patterns prior to 2025. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the front brake system first, as the October 2025 advisory notes pitting and scoring on the inner front discs that may warrant replacement depending on remaining thickness, even if they did not trigger a test failure. Given the above-average annual mileage, close attention should also be paid to suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for signs of premature wear, as well as the drivetrain and exhaust system for leaks or abnormal noise that may not have been flagged in a standard MOT check. While no structural defects, corrosion advisories, or safety-critical failures appear in the available test records, a thorough underbody and structural inspection is still recommended for a vehicle of this age and usage level, to catch any hidden rust, mounting point degradation, or wear on consumables like tyres and wiper blades that fall outside the scope of MOT pass/fail criteria.
