2009 Land Rover Defender 110 MWB 2.4L Diesel · YC09 RXZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean current MOT status. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 60,639 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle is currently meeting all statutory safety requirements. This follows a period of consistent passes despite a single isolated failure in September 2024, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components are being maintained to a standard that prevents recurring major failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between July 2022 at 49,813 miles and July 2023 at 57,890 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 8,000 miles in a single year. While the low annual mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts, brake lines, and fluidrelatedrelated if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and bulkhead mounts, as low-mileage Defenders of this era are prone to corrosion that does not always manifest as immediate MOT failures. Given the lack of advisories in the recent records, check for perished suspension bushes and seized brake calipers which often occur due to age rather than distance travelled. The failure in September 2024 at 58,860 miles should be verified against the service history to ensure the specific component that caused the failure was properly addressed and does not represent a developing mechanical issue.
