2010 Land Rover Defender 2.4L Diesel · XS60 DEF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 16 December 2025 at 160,207 miles resulted in no recorded defects, continuing a streak of clean passes. This absence of failures suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets DVSA safety requirements without significant mechanical or structural lapses. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between November 2021 at 133,413 miles and January 2025 at 155,975 miles, the Defender covered 22,562 miles, showing a steady pattern of use. The interval between tests remains regular, with most examinations occurring roughly 12 to 14 months apart. This consistency indicates the vehicle has been used regularly, which often helps prevent the dry rot and component seizing issues associated with long periods of inactivity. While the digital history is clean, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the Land Rover's chassis and drivetrain components. Given the age and mileage of the vehicle, the priority should be checking for structural corrosion on the ladder frame and mounting points, as the MOT test only identifies safety-related decay. The buyer should also examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or tearing, as these are high-wear items on this model that do not always trigger a failure until they are critically compromised.
