The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

UK

This 1982 Land Rover 109" falls outside the standard UK light-vehicle MOT database—these vehicles are typically tested under the DVSA heavy commercial regime, so conventional pass-rate data isn't available here. What we do know is that 1,275 examples exist in the records, split fairly evenly between diesel (700) and petrol (574) variants, with an average mileage of 77,031 miles, suggesting most surviving examples are preserved or lightly used rather than daily drivers.

The 109" was a legendary workhorse built for farming, expedition, and commercial use, and examples at this age are now either cherished classics or long-term projects. If you're buying one, accept that MOT testing rules and parts availability differ from modern vehicles, and factor in specialist servicing costs—condition and history matter far more than MOT statistics for a vehicle this old and specialised.

MOT statistics not available

We have 1,275 1982 Land Rover 109" 4 Cyl vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
