Our Verdict
A strong recommendation based on signifi
Given the low mileage, focus your attention on the condition of the tyres. The August 2024 MOT specifically flagged perishing and cracking on both rear tyres and outer edge wear on the nearside front, which suggests the vehicle may have spent periods of time stationary. Ensure these have been replaced or are in a satisfactory condition before purchase.
Verify the full service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has been serviced according to manufacturer intervals, regardless of the low mileage. As this is a black vehicle, a close inspection of the paintwork for stone chips or scratches is advised to maintain its aesthetic value.
The 2.0L diesel engine provides a balance of torque and efficiency, though running costs will be higher than a standard passenger car. Expect higher insurance premiums due to the vehicle's size and value, and standard Land Rover maintenance costs for parts and labour.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, road tax based on the 2020 emissions bracket, and scheduled servicing. Given the vehicle's specifications, typical annual expenditure will be higher than the average hatchback but consistent with a premium 4x4.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres. The 2024 MOT record explicitly mentions a cut and perishing on the nearside rear, cracking on the offside rear, and smooth outer edge wear on the nearside front; check if these have been rectified.
Additionally, refer to model aggregate data and check the headlamps and registration plates for any damage or deterioration, as these are common failure points across 1,200 analysed Defenders. Finally, check the steering wheel and interior trim for any signs of wear, despite the low recorded mileage.
This 2020 black Land Rover Defender SE features a 1999cc diesel engine and has recorded 28,615 miles as of August 2024. The MOT history shows two tests and two passes, with the most recent test flagging several tyre-related advisories. Compared to the model average, this specific vehicle has seen much lower usage than typical examples of its age.
This model demonstrates a strong reliability trend with an average MOT pass rate of 91.1% across 1,200 analysed vehicles.
