Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for those seeking a modern, capable Defender with a clean history. This vehicle's low mileage and pristine MOT record suggest a very well-maintained example of the generation.
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritize the service history records. Given it is over 50,000 miles, ensure the major service intervals have been met according to the recommended schedule to keep the 2.0L engine running smoothly. Check the condition of the infotainment system and electronic sensors, as these are complex components that can be expensive to repair if they develop faults.
Since the 2024 MOT noted a nearside rear tyre worn to the limit, verify that the tyre has been replaced and if the alignment was subsequently checked. Uneven wear can sometimes indicate suspension issues. Additionally, look for any signs of heavy off-road use on the underbody, although the clean MOT history suggests this specific car has likely been used primarily on roads.
With a 2.0L diesel engine and Euro 6 status, this Defender is relatively efficient for its size, avoiding ULEZ charges. Owners can expect respectable fuel economy between 28-32 mpg depending on driving conditions, though the heavy weight of the vehicle impacts fuel costs compared to smaller SUVs.
Insurance groups for high-end SUVs like the Defender are typically high, so obtain a quote before purchasing. Maintenance costs will reflect the premium nature of Land Rover parts; expect annual servicing and consumables budgeting between £1,200 and £1,600.
Focus on the tyres first, specifically referencing the 2024 MOT failure regarding the worn nearside rear tyre; ensure all four tyres have healthy tread depth and no signs of uneven wear. Inspect the suspension components for any leaks or excessive play, as the air suspension system on these models requires careful monitoring as it ages.
Check the interior for wear and tear on the leather-style seats and touchpoints. Given the vehicle has no recorded defects in its most recent two MOTs, the mechanical health appears sound, but a physical check for any fluid leaks under the chassis is always recommended.
This 2020 Land Rover Defender S D Auto presents in excellent condition, having covered just 55,629 miles in its six years of life. Its MOT history is remarkably clean, with only one minor tyre-related advisory in 2024. The blue exterior and modern 2.0L diesel engine offer a balanced proposition of modern style and robust- capability.
The L663 generation Defender is generally considered more reliable than its predecessors, though complex electronics remain a point of long-term monitoring.
