2022 Land Rover Defender XS Edition D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · SC 6582

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 13 October 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA roadworthiness standards without immediate mechanical concerns. Given the absence of recorded failures or warnings, the current record reflects a vehicle in good structural and mechanical health. With a recorded mileage of 26,062 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,516 miles per annum. This usage rate is considered typical for a modern luxury 4x4 and suggests a balanced duty cycle. It has avoided the extremes of excessive wear associated with high-mileage motorway use, while also avoiding the potential degradation issues often found in vehicles that have stood idle for extended periods. Since the MOT history is clean, the focus for a prospective buyer should shift to age-related and usage-based preventative checks. It is essential to verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based maintenance intervals have been adhered to, regardless of the relatively low mileage. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the engine oil and coolant, as these fluids degrade over time. The 12V battery health should be tested, especially given the complex electronics and mild-hybrid system, to ensure there is no voltage drop that could trigger intermittent faults. Physical inspection should focus on the tyres and braking system. The buyer should inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or ozone cracking and check for uneven wear patterns that might indicate suspension misalignment. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, and the pedal feel during a test drive should be monitored for any signs of binding calipers or shudder. Finally, the buyer should ensure all software updates for the MHEV system are current as per the manufacturer service bulletins to ensure optimal drivetrain efficiency.
