2023 Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic SE D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · OW72 JRZ

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT test on 20 February 2026. At 36,190 miles, the tester passed with no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The absence of recorded failures suggests that the mechanical and structural components inspected by the tester were operating within manufacturer parameters at the time of the test. At approximately three years of age, the recorded mileage of 36,190 miles reflects an annual average of over 12,000 miles. This exceeds the national average for passenger vehicles, suggesting consistent long-distance use rather than long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history is sparse due to the vehicle's relatively young age, the mileage accumulation implies that consumable items and suspension components will age at a faster rate than a lower-mileage example. Despite the clean-sheet test result, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection of components susceptible to high-mileage wear. Focus should be paid to the air suspension bellows and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue, as the weight of the Defender places significant stress on these assemblies. The brakes should be checked for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, as the MOT does not always capture minor hydraulic inconsistencies that manifest under heavy use. Inspect the underbody for any physical damage or stone ingressions that may have occurred given the higher mileage profile. Since the MOT record shows no history of faults, verifying the full service history is critical to ensure that the MHEV system and diesel engine have been maintained according to the required intervals. The vehicle appears to be a well-kept example, but the high usage justifies a thorough look at the drivetrain and suspension bushings.
