MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Land Rover Defender (P92 OHL) between January 2023 and May 2026.

The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 26 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (6 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Brakes (1 issue), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 16 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: “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”; “Rear Registration plate does not conform to the specified requirements (0.1 (d))”; “Front Registration plate does not conform to the specified requirements (0.1 (d))”.
