2007 Land Rover Defender 2.4L Diesel · WR07 YAH

The 2007 Land Rover Defender presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 24 June 2025 at 127,674 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 2021 through 2025 returned a pass with no advisories, indicating the previous keeper addressed any wear before each test and the vehicle carries no outstanding mechanical flags. The recorded mileage shows light, consistent use for a 19-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 118,199 miles at the February 2021 test, then 120,859 in July 2022, 123,118 in July 2023, 125,566 in July 2024, and 127,674 in June 2025. That equates to roughly 2,300 miles per year across the last four cycles, well below the 6,720 annual average for the model's age. A five-month gap sits between the 2021 and 2022 tests, but the clean record gives no cause for concern over skipped maintenance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the chassis. Defenders of this era suffer structural corrosion in chassis rails, bulkhead outriggers, and spring hangers even when MOT tests show no advisories. The absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions faults in the record does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation of rubber components and drivetrain seals. Given the low yearly mileage and spotless history, the prior owner likely stored the vehicle and maintained it to a reasonable standard. Verify the genuine condition of brake calipers, coil springs, and steering joints during a ramp inspection, as these items can deteriorate through inactivity rather than use.
