2015 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · R66 LDC

The 2015 Land Rover Defender demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2025-11-13 at 45,074 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or advisories were flagged across the six-year history, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained. The absence of critical failures in brakes, suspension, or structural components aligns with its low mileage for age, though further scrutiny of non-MOT elements is advised. The vehicle’s mileage of 45,074 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 4,098 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This pattern suggests either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could affect fluid systems and rubber components. The MOT intervals, spaced exactly one year apart, reveal steady but gradual mileage growth, with no abrupt increases or extended gaps. This consistency implies predictable usage, though the low annual average may mask wear in areas not tested during MOTs, such as engine internals or transmission health. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these can degrade without MOT detection. Corrosion in the underbody, particularly around the chassis and exhaust, warrants attention given the vehicle’s age. While no brake-related issues were recorded, a physical check of brake discs and calipers is recommended to confirm no hidden binding or uneven wear. The lack of advisories on tyres or wiper blades suggests routine replacements, but verifying the current condition of these consumables is essential for safe operation.
