2021 Land Rover Defender S D Mhev Auto 3.0L Diesel · WK71 CFL

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT record across its most recent inspections. The test conducted on 3 September 2025 at 51,492 miles returned with no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has proactively addressed potential issues, ensuring all mechanical and safety components remained within manufacturer parameters without reaching the threshold of failure. The mileage progression is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2024 test at 31,535 miles and the September 2025 test, the vehicle covered 19,957 miles. This higher-than-average annual usage suggests regular long-distance driving rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of seals, gaskets, and drivetrain components. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical faults or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on common wear items for a Land Rover of this age. A buyer should verify the condition of the air suspension components and bushings for signs of premature wear, as these are not always flagged during a standard MOT test. Given the recent mileage spike, checking the brake pad thickness and rotors for uneven wear is also prudent to ensure the system has not been stressed under heavy use.
