The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
This 2023 Defender HSE diesel hybrid has an exceptional 96.9% first-time MOT pass rate—nearly 17 percentage points ahead of the UK average—and dangerous defects are virtually non-existent at just 0.1% of vehicles. Reliability at this age is genuinely impressive, with zero average failures and zero advisories across the 859 cars tested.
At 25,334 miles median mileage, these Defenders are running low for their age, which partly explains the pristine MOT results, but the complete absence of recurring faults suggests the hybrid diesel powertrain is also proving robust so far. If you're considering one, the MOT data is strongly in your favour—focus your inspection on service history and any accident damage rather than mechanical wear.
We have 859 2023 Land Rover Defender Hse D MHEV Auto vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data yet to show reliable statistics — as a 2023 model, most vehicles won't have reached their first MOT test date.
