MOT Analysis

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

37 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Land Rover Defender (W412 GEJ) between September 2005 and September 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 16 failures.

The most recent test on 09 September 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 16 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (50 issues), Lighting (34 issues), Suspension (25 issues), Steering (8 issues), Tyres (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 92 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: “Nearside Front Halfshaft securing bolt loose axle bolts (6.1.7 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Oil leaking excessively from transmission beam axle tractor joint (8.4.1 (a) (i))”; “Rear Vehicle structure excessively corroded within 30cm of towbar mounting (6.1.6 (i) (i))”.
