2022 Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic S D Mhev A 3.0L Diesel · V700 AEB

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 18 February 2026 at 53,471 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass on 21 October 2025 at 48,816 miles, indicating the vehicle has maintained a high standard of mechanical integrity over the last ten months. The mileage is high for a four year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,368 miles per year. The car covered 4,655 miles in the six month window between the October 2025 and February 2026 tests. This consistent, high-volume usage suggests the vehicle has been used primarily for long-distance commuting or motorway travel rather than short urban trips, which generally puts less stress on the engine and exhaust system. The MOT record is exceptionally clean for a Defender, showing no advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or tyre wear across both entries. While the lack of flagged defects is positive, the high mileage means the buyer should still manually verify the condition of consumables. Focus on the remaining tread depth of the tyres and the thickness of the brake pads, as these will wear faster given the annual mileage. A physical inspection should prioritise the chassis and underbody for any signs of corrosion or impact damage, as the MOT tests provide a limited view of structural integrity. Check the service history to ensure the oil change intervals were shortened to accommodate the high mileage. Given the lack of recorded faults, the vehicle appears well maintained, but the drivetrain and suspension components should be checked for wear consistent with 53,000 miles of use.
