Sluggish bad performance seems to be the main symptom.
Have a read 
http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic10214.html Have a Google with TD5 Maf sensor, plenty of reading on other forums about it. it appears that if you disconnect the MAF and performance is better if could be faulty. Other thing I picked up is that genuine is the way to go but it is possible to fit a brand new MAF sensor and that can be faulty as well 
Good luck. Bob 2015 Jaguar XE240 R Sport - goes like ....... !! 2013 Defender 90 CSW - sold 2009 Defender 110 Double Cab - sold 2001 TD5 90 CSW - offroad project - sold to a forum member 2011 Porsche Boxster - for the sunny days ! |

Easiest way is to start the truck and move off immediately - try and get into 2nd gear quickly. If the MAF's dud there will be almost no power at all for 10 seconds or so, then a big jolt and it'll start working normally.

I would say fuel consumption would suffer, you would not be getting the correct mixture.

If it won't go above 50-55 I wouldn't think it'd be the MAF sensor.
Reason is, the ECU tries it to start with, but if it's getting duff readings it just reverts to a default set of values and carries on. This is why the car is sluggish but then there's a big jolt - that's the ECU realising the MAF is dead. The default values will allow the engine to run ok, but not perfectly. It's like that with a few things - errors will make the engine run worse, but as far as I know the only one which will cause the engine to stop is the crank position sensor. Everything else it can compensate for. Be worth plugging it in to a diagnostic machine before blowing £90 on a new MAF. |

Just disconnect it and see if there is a difference. If there is a big difference and much more power with it disconnected, then it's dead.
If your buying a new one, make sure it's a decent one, not a cheapy. Think Siemens are decent... Current:D4 HSE Gone: BMW Z4MC Gone: Defender TD5 90 CSW Previous: Discovery TD5 ES (Gone) |

Use A quick Google search "testing maf sensor".
The autoshop101.com result may be of some use, third Page. Shows how to test with a multimeter. |
