2021 Land Rover Defender X Mhev Auto 3.0L Petrol · OY21 WMC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a lapse in proactive consumable maintenance. While the most recent test in March 2025 at 54,588 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just five days prior. The trend shows a shift from a clean record to one marked by immediate tyre failures, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed faults once they reached legal limits rather than replacing them during scheduled servicing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 20,795 miles between the January 2024 test at 33,554 miles and the February 2025 test at 54,349 miles. This rapid accumulation of mileage over a thirteen-month period explains the accelerated wear observed on the tyres, specifically the uneven wear on the edges of the rear tyres noted during the February 2025 failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension and alignment geometry. The recurring reports of edge wear on the offside and nearside rear inner tyres in early 2025 often point to underlying issues such as worn suspension bushes or incorrect camber settings rather than simple mileage. Given that the offside rear outer tyre also suffered a cut reaching the cords, it is essential to verify that the damaged components were removed and that no structural damage was caused by the impact to the wheel rim or suspension assembly.
