UK

The 1992 Defender 110 turbo diesel doesn't appear in the standard DVLA light-vehicle MOT database—these vehicles are typically registered as heavy commercials and tested under separate DVSA rules, so direct pass-rate comparisons to the UK average don't apply here. What we can say is that the 618 diesel examples in this cohort show very low failure and advisory rates (0.06 failures and 0.1 advisories per vehicle on average), suggesting that when these trucks do make it through testing, they're relatively free of serious faults.

The median mileage of 137,000 miles is moderate for a 32-year-old workhorse, and the tiny 0.5% rate of vehicles ever having a dangerous defect is reassuring—these are simple, robust machines. If you're considering one, accept that it's built for utility rather than comfort, verify its commercial-use history and service records carefully, and budget for specialist diesel mechanic labour, as general garages often lack the expertise for older turbo engines and their injection systems.

MOT statistics not available

We have 618 1992 Land Rover 110 Defender Turbo Dies 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
