Land Rover Defender Buying Guide

What types of used Land Rover Defender cars are there?

The Defender has always had a boxy look indicative of its tough, off-road credentials, but Land Rover revised this for the 2020 model to give it a bit of glam.

You can pick from 90 or 110 models, which have three or five doors, as well as newer 130 models which are extremely long and come with seven seats.

Some versions can also have a narrow seat between the two front seats, suitable for occasional use and designed mostly for commercial purposes.

Earlier models tended to come with more agricultural engines, which were by no means incapable of tackling the steepest hills and the deepest trenches, but newer cars offer refined V6 and V8 motors for effortless performance.

Popular Land Rover Defender trims

There are plenty of trim levels to choose from, including the usual Land Rover packs as well as a few special and sporty editions.

> Land Rover Defender S - the cheapest car still gets LED headlights, a 360-degree parking camera and keyless entry

> Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic SE - the next trim level up, this adds a Meridian sound system, a sliding panoramic sunroof and some extra styling

> Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic HSE - the highest core trim level before special editions, you get soft leather upholstery and matrix LED headlights

Land Rover Defender history

What features does the Land Rover Defender have?

Standard equipment on the most basic 2020 Land Rover Defender is strong, with a heated windscreen, LED headlights with automatic high beams, keyless entry and adaptive cruise control all standard.

You also get all-round parking sensors and a 360-degree parking camera to help you park, displayed on a large Pivi Pro infotainment display that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Top-spec cars add premium touches like a heated steering wheel, electric adjustment for the steering column, and soft leather upholstery.

Is the Land Rover Defender reliable?

Land Rover has received some negative press in recent years about the reliability of some of its models, but the Defender is generally a mechanically sound SUV.

To counter some industry-wide concerns, it gets a built-in tracker and a special authentication technology between the key and the car to highlight if the car gets stolen with a dedicated team.

How much does the Land Rover Defender cost to run?

Older Defender models aren’t particularly efficient, while newer 2020-on cars are heavier and use bigger engines. This all means that you’re unlikely to exceed 30-40mpg in most circumstances, which is to be expected in an SUV of this size.

Insurance, tax and maintenance can also be on the pricey side, but this is more evident in newer versions.

Who is the Land Rover Defender suitable for?

Buying a used Land Rover Defender for sale gets you not only an extremely capable car, but one that passers-by are sure to admire.

If you need something as rugged and capable, you could consider a Jeep Wrangler, but chances are you’re after a Defender for its upmarket appeal. In which case, why not consider a Mercedes G-Class or Porsche Cayenne.

Should I buy a Land Rover Defender?

How much is a Land Rover Defender?

You can buy a brand-new Defender for between £58,000 and £117,000, but buy a used example and you can save upwards of £50,000. 

Which Land Rover Defender is best?

This depends on what you’re after. The base SE model would be more than enough for most people, but if you want a bit more tech, choose one of the higher specs. 

How tall is a Land Rover Defender?

The Defender in three-door 90 trim stands at 1,974mm tall, but choose a longer 110 or 130 and they stand at 1,967mm and 1,970mm respectively.

Is the Defender worth the money?

If you want an amazing off-roader that’s well-built and packed full of tech for your family, then it doesn’t get better than a Defender. Buy an older model and you could potentially be sitting on a future classic. 

Can you daily drive a Defender?

You absolutely can. From 2019, Defenders became incredibly easy to live with, boasting plenty of power, a smooth automatic gearbox, and lots of tech and high-quality speakers for all your tunes.
