MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Land Rover Defender (T952 JVG) between February 2006 and December 2024.

The record contains 17 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 17 December 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (10 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Bodywork (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 19 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust system not adequately supported (7.1.1)”; “Exhaust emits an excessive level of metered smoke for a turbo charged engine (7.4.B.3b)”; “Rear fog lamp not working (1.3.2b)”.
