2021 Land Rover Defender S Auto 2.0L Petrol · LT21 ARF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean inspection. The most recent test conducted on 26 March 2026 at 63,537 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum legal standards. This follows a failure in March 2025 which was rectified quickly within a week, suggesting that the previous owner was proactive in addressing MOT failures once they were identified. The mileage pattern reveals a significant acceleration in usage over the last two years. Between February 2024 at 14,762 miles and the 2025 test at 38,747 miles, the vehicle covered over 24,000 miles in just 14 months. The subsequent interval between April 2025 and March 2026 saw another 24,790 miles covered in eleven months. This average of approximately 12,700 miles per year is high for a five-year-old Defender and places increased stress on the drivetrain, air suspension system, and braking components. Given the high annual mileage accumulation, a buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the air suspension components and bushings. High-frequency use often accelerates the wear on rubber components and electronic shock absorbers. While the MOT record shows no current defects, the rapid increase in miles suggests that brake discs and tyres may be nearing the end of their service life. Checking the chassis for any signs of premature corrosion or impact damage is essential as the mileage implies consistent exposure to varied road or off-road conditions.
