How reliable is a Land Rover Defender?

I love the Land Rover Defender and I’m so excited that it’s available in the US! I’m considering buying one, but I want to make sure that it’s reliable since I’ll have to invest a solid chunk of money. How reliable is the Defender?

Unfortunately, the
Land Rover
Defender has some pretty bad ratings in terms of reliability. Many drivers reported that they needed to make repairs within the first **three years of ownership, including some complicated and expensive repairs that took a while to complete.
If you decide to purchase a Defender anyway, there are a few things that you can do to help yourself avoid costly repairs:
  • Stay up to date on maintenance
  • Pay close attention to any problems that arise
  • Fix any issues as soon as you see them
