Land Rover Defender X Dynamic Hse PHEV A (2022)
2022 Land Rover Defender X Dynamic Hse PHEV A
CarHunch analysed 350 real MOT records for the 2022 Land Rover Defender X Dynamic Hse PHEV A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This DEFENDER PHEV is slightly more reliable than the UK average, with an 83.9% first-time pass rate against the national 80% benchmark, and a dangerous defect rate of just 1.1% suggests these vehicles are genuinely safe propositions for buyers. The low failure count of 0.07 per vehicle indicates serious mechanical issues are rare, though the 0.5 advisories per vehicle suggest minor wear items crop up occasionally.
At 28,130 miles median, these are still relatively young cars with modest use, so the clean MOT picture may partly reflect their age rather than built-in durability—expect performance to dip as mileage climbs. Before committing, run a full service history check to confirm preventative maintenance has been kept up, particularly on the hybrid powertrain components, which will be costly if neglected.
What to check before buying a 2022 Land Rover Defender X Dynamic Hse PHEV A
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
