Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This 2003 Land Rover Defender 110 TD5 passed its most recent MOT on 12 July 2024 at 162,469 miles. However, it had previously failed the same day due to excessive exhaust smoke, which was clearly rectified to achieve the pass. The key outstanding items from that test were two advisories: a slight play in the offside front steering linkage ball joint and an oil leak that was not yet considered excessive. The dominant recurring theme in this vehicle's MOT history is fluid leaks, specifically oil, which were noted in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tests. The most serious failure related to this was a diesel leak in 2023, which was subsequently fixed. The current advisory for an oil leak suggests this remains an ongoing issue that may require monitoring or repair, though it has not yet reached a level that causes an MOT failure. The overall condition trend appears stable, not worsening. The vehicle has been presented for its MOT regularly each summer. While it failed in 2023 and briefly in 2024, those failures were addressed and the car secured a pass. There is a pattern of addressing failures between tests, which is positive.
