Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a
Given the low mileage relative to its age, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the 2.4L diesel engine has received regular oil changes. Low-mileage diesel engines can sometimes suffer from carbon buildup if only used for short trips, so check if the vehicle has seen regular motorway use.
When negotiating, ask for evidence of any major component replacements, such as the timing belt or water pump, which are critical for this engine type. While the MOT history is currently clean, these are maintenance items that MOT tests do not always capture.
Running a Defender involves higher-than-average costs compared to standard passenger cars. The 2402cc diesel engine is robust but will result in relatively high fuel consumption, especially in urban environments. Tax and insurance groups for the XS trim are typically higher due to the vehicle's specialist status and performance profile.
Maintenance costs can be significant; while the MOT history shows no recent failures, parts for Land Rover Defenders can be premium-priced. Expect an annual budget that accounts for both routine servicing and the potential for more expensive mechanical repairs common to older 4x4s.
While this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures since 2022, you should inspect the chassis and underside for signs of corrosion, which is a known vulnerability for this model. Even with a clean MOT, a physical inspection of the frame is essential.
Check the condition of the suspension components and steering linkages. Since the last MOT in January 2026 recorded no defects, the current components appear to be within legal limits, but you should look for any signs of excessive play or perished rubber bushes that might lead to future failures.
This 2010 Land Rover Defender 90 XS SW SWB is finished in Green and has covered 75,150 miles as of its last MOT in January 2026. Compared to the model aggregate average of 4,892 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven significantly less than the typical example. The MOT record shows four consecutive passes since 2022 with no recorded defects or failures, providing a consistent history of compliance.
The aggregate MOT pass rate for this model is 78.9%, indicating that a significant portion of the fleet experiences failures or advisories during testing.
