2014 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · LK64 FFG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 62,702 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all legal standards. This clean record suggests that the previous owners have been proactive with maintenance, as the vehicle has passed several consecutive tests without mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old Land Rover, averaging approximately 5,225 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between December 2021 and September 2024, during which the vehicle covered only 4,148 miles over nearly three years. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not subjected the drivetrain or engine to heavy-duty daily work. While low mileage generally reduces wear on brake components and tyres, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and perished seals, which are not always captured in a standard MOT. A physical inspection should focus on components most affected by low-mileage use and the specific design of the Defender. The buyer must check for structural corrosion on the chassis rails and suspension mounting points, as rust can develop on these vehicles regardless of miles driven. Given the failure in November 2020 regarding an ineffective windscreen wiper, the condition of the wiper motor and blades should be verified to ensure they have not seized or neglected. Additionally, the buyer should inspect for fluid leaks and check the suspension bushings, as infrequent use can cause these to dry out and crack over time.
