MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1994 Land Rover Defender (M183 NKN) between December 2006 and February 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 16 February 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (20 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 37 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Central Rear Sub-frame ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Headlamp not working on main beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Rear fog lamp not working (4.5.1 (a) (ii))”.
