2022 Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic SE D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · R1 HOJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in December 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the failure recorded just one day prior to the final pass indicates a specific electrical fault that required attention. The failure on 11 December 2025 at 28,793 miles was due to an inoperative engine malfunction light, but the subsequent pass on the following day suggests the issue was rectified or the sensor was replaced immediately. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Moving from 22,654 miles in January 2025 to 28,793 miles in December 2025 shows an accumulation of 6,139 miles in nearly eleven months, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The lack of advisories on the most recent tests indicates that major mechanical and structural components have not yet reached significant wear thresholds at this stage. A buyer should perform a diagnostic scan to ensure the engine management system fault is fully cleared and does not have a recurring fault code. Since the vehicle failed on a malfunction light, it is vital to verify that the mild hybrid system and engine sensors are communicating correctly without intermittent errors. Given the low mileage, the physical inspection should also check for any degradation of rubber components or suspension bushings, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from age-related perish rather than mechanical wear.
