2021 Land Rover Defender S D Mhev Auto 3.0L Diesel · SP64 ARM

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing an improving maintenance trend following a brief mechanical setback in early 2024. While the car failed its initial test in April that year, the most recent inspection in April 2025 at 51,192 miles returned no defects whatsoever. This indicates that whatever issues caused the previous failure were successfully rectified, and the vehicle has since maintained a clean compliance record. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a modern Land Rover Defender, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per annum. Between the April 2024 and April 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 11,353 miles, suggesting a steady and predictable driving habit rather than long periods of stagnation. This level of use is generally beneficial for mechanical components as it helps keep seals, rubber components, and braking systems from drying out or seizing. Despite the clean recent result, a buyer should investigate the cause of the failure at 39,839 miles to understand the nature of the repairs. Since the record does not specify the reason for that specific failure, a physical inspection of the air suspension components, bushings, and brake assemblies is necessary to ensure there is no recurring wear or hidden corrosion. Given the vehicle's age, checking for early signs of structural integrity and verifying the condition of the brake disc surfaces remains standard practice to confirm the MOT history reflects the actual mechanical health of the chassis.
