2022 Land Rover Defender X Dynamic SE PHEV A
CarHunch analysed 190 real MOT records for the 2022 Land Rover Defender X Dynamic SE PHEV A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic SE PHEV A passes its MOT on first attempt 86.7% of the time, comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80%, and there are zero dangerous defects recorded across the 190 vehicles analysed—a genuinely clean safety record. This is a relatively young cohort running at sensible mileage (median 28,131 miles), so you're looking at vehicles that haven't yet hit the wear-and-tear wall, which partly explains the strong performance. The average car in this group picks up barely any failures (0.06 per vehicle) and only minor advisory issues (0.4 per vehicle), suggesting the PHEV powertrain and overall build quality are holding up well in real-world use. When you're shopping for one, insist on a full service history and a pre-purchase inspection of the battery management system—this will give you confidence the complexity that comes with PHEV ownership is being properly maintained.
What to check before buying a 2022 Land Rover Defender X Dynamic SE 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.
