MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Land Rover Defender (V837 KAW) between December 2005 and July 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 09 July 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (30 issues), Brakes (22 issues), Suspension (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Steering (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 56 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: “Prop shaft joint excessively worn Front prop, front joint (6.1.7 (c) (i))”; “Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a))”; “Offside Rear Upper Shock absorbers has an excessively worn bush (5.3.2 (c))”.
