MOT Analysis

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

28 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Land Rover Defender (N415 CDA) between May 2006 and June 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 16 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (19 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 28 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: “Upper Steering system has excessive free play detected at the steering wheel (steering box fitted) upper u/j (2.2.A.1a)”; “Offside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”; “Nearside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”.
