2015 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · LR65 ADV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 20,582 miles resulted in a clean pass, following a series of three consecutive passes over the previous two years. While a single failure occurred on 15 February 2023 at 8,855 miles, the vehicle has since cleared every inspection without a single advisory note, indicating that any previous mechanical issues were addressed and rectified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old Defender, averaging approximately 1,871 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between March 2024 at 10,808 miles and February 2025 at 17,393 miles, where the vehicle covered over 6,500 miles in eleven months. This pattern suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, which often reduces general mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine but can introduce specific risks related to rubber degradation, fluid ingress, and tyre-related issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check for brake fluid corrosion, seized calipers, and flat spots on the tyres which frequently occur with infrequent use. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis and structural body members for surface rust is essential, as the MOT test does not always detect deep-seated corrosion on stationary or slow-moving vehicles. Verify that the suspension bushes and rubber components are not perished or cracking despite the low recorded mileage.
