2010 Land Rover Defender 2.4L Diesel · VF59 NTX

The 2026-06-18 test on 133,968 miles was passed without defects, confirming that the vehicle's overall roadworthiness remains sound at this time. However, the maintenance trend is clearly improving rather than deteriorating, as the most recent test passed with no issues, whereas earlier tests in 2023 and 2022 also passed without specific faults. This suggests that the owner has maintained the car effectively, though the 2023-09-07 test revealed specific recurring wear issues that must be addressed. The mileage record indicates that the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of miles over a relatively short period compared to its age. The 2025-06-27 test at 133,968 miles was the most recent, representing a significant jump from the 2022-09-01 test at 122,196 miles, suggesting that the owner has not been maintaining the car at a steady rate of miles per year. This rapid mileage increase could indicate accelerated wear on the drivetrain or suspension components, necessitating closer inspection of the braking and suspension systems to prevent future failures. In summary, the 2010 Land Rover Defender is currently roadworthy but requires immediate attention to the 2023-09-07 test results. The owner should inspect the suspension bushes and arm pins for excessive movement, the brake pipes for corrosion or grease buildup, and the front seat belt webbing for fraying. If structural integrity is compromised, the vehicle may need to be taken to a professional body for a full diagnostic scan to identify any potential issues before the next MOT.
