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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 Land Rover Defender (N577 DLG) between November 2005 and July 2024.

The record contains 16 passes and 10 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (19 issues), Steering (7 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
