Our Verdict

A recommended purchase for those seeking

Given that this vehicle has covered nearly 50,000 miles in approximately three and a half years, a comprehensive service history is essential to verify that maintenance intervals were met despite the high usage. Negotiate based on the mileage, as it is well above the typical annual average for this model.

Verify the current condition of the tyres, specifically the nearside front, as an advisory was noted in October 2025 regarding wear close to the legal limit. Ensure that all limited edition trim and MHEV system functions are operating as intended.

As a 2997cc diesel, this vehicle will sit in a higher tax bracket and insurance group typical for the Defender range. Fuel economy will be influenced by the MHEV system, but the larger engine displacement suggests higher fuel expenditure for urban driving.

Maintenance costs for the Defender can be significant, particularly for tyres and brakes given the vehicle's weight. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, is approximately £2,800-£3,600.

Inspect the tyres thoroughly, specifically the nearside front outer edge, to ensure the wear flagged in the October 2025 MOT has been addressed. Check the operation of the windscreen washers and headlamps, as aggregate data for 712 similar vehicles identifies these as the most common MOT failure points.

Perform a full exterior check of the Green paintwork for stone chips, which is more likely given the high mileage recorded. Check for any signs of wear on the interior materials consistent with nearly 50,000 miles of use.

This Green 75th Limited Edition Defender has a consistent MOT history with five tests recorded since April 2024. While the record is largely clean, the mileage has reached 49,459 miles as of April 2026, which is substantially higher than the model average. The vehicle's Euro 6 AP diesel engine and MHEV system are paired with a history showing no major mechanical failures.

The Defender shows strong reliability in MOT data, with a 94.5% pass rate across 712 analysed vehicles.
