2013 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · LX62 FMA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 122, which is a 25-point deduction from the 125-point maximum, indicating that the car is not roadworthy. The most recent MOT test was conducted on 2021-09-29 at 133,174 miles, and this date is exactly 5 months prior to today, placing the vehicle well within the acceptable window for a 2026 inspection. The maintenance history shows a stable trend with no significant deterioration in performance or structural integrity, though the most recent failure occurred on 2021-09-29. Mileage accumulation is relatively consistent, averaging approximately 10,244 miles per year, which is typical for a 2013 model. The mileage gap between the 2021 and 2020 tests (from 133,174 to 123,985 miles) is negligible, suggesting that the vehicle has not accumulated excessive wear on consumables or drivetrain components over the past two years. However, the 2021 test failure on the rear stop lamp and the 2019 test failure on the child seat indicate that the vehicle requires regular attention to avoid future breakdowns. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for the following mechanical issues: the rear brake pads, which are thin at 1.1.13 (a) (ii), the child seat belt fit, and the exhaust system which is slightly corroded. The suspension components, including the track rod end ball joint, are also noted as having dust cover damage that prevents ingress of dirt. These structural and consumable wear items require immediate attention to ensure the car meets the safety standards and to prevent a roadworthiness deduction.
