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 2002 Land Rover Defender (PE02 LZB) between May 2006 and November 2022.

The record contains 18 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 24 November 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (24 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Windscreen (4 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 37 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: “Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stren”; “Nearside Headlamp aim too high (4.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Rear Direction indicator not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”.
