MOT Analysis

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

32 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 Land Rover Defender (M246 POJ) between March 2006 and April 2026.

The record contains 23 passes and 9 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (55 issues), Brakes (49 issues), Suspension (34 issues), Steering (15 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (11 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 162 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: “Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers damaged to the extent that it does not function (5.3.2 (b))”; “Offside Rear fog lamp not working (4.5.1 (a) (ii))”.
