Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When purchasing this 2.2L diesel Defender, focus on verifying the full service history to ensure the engine has been maintained, as MOT records only cover roadworthiness. While the MOT history is clean, ensure you check for any non-MOT related mechanical wear and tear consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle and the current status of consumables like tyres and brakes, which may not have triggered an MOT failure but could be nearing the end of their life. Ensure all documentation for the 2198cc engine's maintenance is present.
As a 2.2L diesel, fuel economy will be modest and insurance groups for the Defender are typically high. Road tax will be based on 2014 diesel emissions standards, which may be higher than modern equivalents.
Typical maintenance costs for this model can be variable, though the lack of recent MOT failures suggests a stable baseline. Buyers should also budget for potential urban emission charges depending on where the vehicle is driven.
Despite the clean MOT history for this specific vehicle, the model aggregate data identifies corrosion, brake pipes, and headlamps as the top failure reasons across 126,031 vehicles. A thorough inspection of the chassis and underbody for rust is essential, as corrosion is a known weak point for the Defender range.
Check the condition of the brake pipes and the operation of all lighting systems. While no defects were recorded in the most recent tests, these are the most common failure points for this model and require diligent checking.
This black 2014 Land Rover Defender has covered 67,341 miles and presents a very consistent history. Between January 2022 and June 2026, it has passed five consecutive MOT tests without a single recorded defect. This performance is notably better than the wider model aggregate, which shows an average pass rate of 78.1%.
The Defender has an average MOT pass rate of 78.1% across 126,031 analysed vehicles, indicating a moderate reliability profile.
