Our Verdict
This is a strong option for a buyer seek
When inspecting this specific PHEV, focus on the hybrid battery health and the seamless transition between electric and petrol power. Because this vehicle has covered significantly more miles than the aggregate average for its age, you should request evidence of a consistent service history to ensure the complex hybrid system has been maintained according to manufacturer schedules.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at over 46,000 miles in just over three years, this vehicle has been driven much more intensively than the typical Defender in our database. Check the condition of the tyres and any body components, as these are the most common failure points for this model type across our wider data set.
As a Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), running costs will vary significantly depending on how frequently the battery is charged. The 1997cc engine is designed for efficiency, but expect higher insurance groups typical of high-value Land Rover models.
Maintenance costs for a Defender can be higher than standard SUVs due to the complexity of the hybrid drivetrain and all-wheel-drive systems. Budget for regular checks on the hybrid components and standard wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes.
Start by reviewing the most recent MOT from February 2026, which showed no defects, but remain mindful of the model's aggregate failure trends. Specifically, inspect the tyres and any exterior body components for damage or insecurity, as these are the primary reasons for MOT failures in the 458 vehicles we have analysed in this category.
Given the high mileage relative to its age, pay close attention to the suspension components and any signs of wear in the interior. Ensure the charging port and cables are in good working order, as these are critical for the PHEV functionality.
Registered in February 2023, this grey Land Rover Defender X-Dynamic S PHEV has covered 46,451 miles as of its last MOT in February 2026. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 10,532 per year, the vehicle passed its most recent MOT with no defects recorded. It offers the efficiency of a 1997cc hybrid powertrain combined with the premium X-Dynamic specification.
Aggregate data for this model shows a high MOT pass rate of 91.9%, suggesting generally robust mechanical standards across the fleet.
