2011 Land Rover Defender 2.4L Diesel · LT61 OGX

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 105,508 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This streak of perfect passes across consecutive years suggests a stable maintenance trend where the owner proactively maintains the vehicle to a standard that prevents mechanical or structural failures from reaching the MOT testing threshold. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old Defender, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between December 2021 at 71,584 miles and the December 2025 test at 105,508 miles, the vehicle covered 33,924 miles. This steady usage indicates regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which is often beneficial for rubber seals, bushings, and brake components. The intervals between tests remain annual, showing a predictable lifecycle for the vehicle. Despite the lack of recorded faults in the history, a physical inspection must focus on the structural vulnerabilities inherent to this era of Land Rover. A buyer should inspect the chassis rails and crossmembers for corrosion, as the MOT test does not check for surface rust unless it affects structural integrity. Given the age and mileage, the condition of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs should be examined for cracking, as these components often perish before they trigger a test failure.
