Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a
Given this is a 2023 model, your primary focus should be on the manufacturer's warranty status and whether any extended coverage is in place. Since the vehicle is a mild hybrid (MHEV), ensure you ask for documentation regarding the hybrid battery health and any software updates that may have been applied to the electrical system.
When negotiating, check for a full service history to complement the clean MOT record. While the MOT shows no defects, it does not confirm if the scheduled manufacturer intervals have been met. Look for evidence of the specific service requirements for the 2997cc diesel engine to ensure long-term engine health.
As a 3.0L diesel, running costs will be influenced by fuel economy, which is generally efficient for a vehicle of this size due to the MHEV technology. Tax bands for this engine size can be relatively high, so verify the specific annual road tax rate before purchase.
Insurance groups for the Defender X-Dynamic trim tend to be higher than standard SUVs, reflecting its market value and performance. Expect maintenance costs to be higher than a standard passenger car, particularly for tyres and specialist Land Rover components. Estimated annual running costs are moderate to high depending on annual mileage.
While the January 2026 MOT showed no defects, you should pay close attention to the tyres, as 'tyre' is noted as a top failure reason for this model aggregate. Check for uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues.
Additionally, inspect the registration plates for clarity and damage, as 'registration plate does' and 'inscription' are frequent failure points in the wider model data. Finally, check the exterior finish of the Black paintwork for any signs of stone chipping or scratches, which are common on larger vehicles used on motorways.
This 2023 Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic SE D MHEV A is a modern diesel variant with approximately 19,435 miles on the clock. Based on the single MOT recorded in January 2026, the vehicle passed without any defects. Compared to the model aggregate average annual mileage of 9,153, this specific vehicle has covered slightly more than average for its age.
The model aggregate shows a high MOT pass rate of 92.8%, suggesting generally consistent compliance with UK road standards.
