Don't buy someone else's expensive Defender problems.
Practical, experience-led guidance to help you spot corrosion, mechanical warning signs and costly compromises before you hand over your money.
Built for real vehicle viewings — not just another generic list of Defender faults.
Know where to look
Focus first on the chassis, bulkhead, footwells and other areas where expensive problems can hide.
Ask better questions
Use structured seller questions, history checks and road-test observations before emotion takes over.
Make a decision
Turn what you find into a clear next action: buy, investigate further, negotiate — or walk away.
Start with the Defender Buyer's Guide.
Our first resource is designed to teach you the major risk areas before you view a vehicle. The download will be added here as soon as the delivery system is connected.
