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 1995 Land Rover Defender (M746 KDV) between September 2006 and June 2025.

The record contains 14 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 06 June 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (55 issues), Tyres (17 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Steering (9 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 61 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 Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Front Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Offside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn x2 (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
