Miles Overview
The Defender is Land Rover's rugged, no-frills off-roader, the one you buy when you actually plan to use it. On pavement it's truck-like and slow to respond, but off-road it's unstoppable, with incredible axle articulation and a low-range gearbox. The cabin is basic and utilitarian, with hard plastics and simple controls, but everything is built to be hosed out after a muddy day. Reliability is a mixed bag; the mechanicals are simple and fixable, but electrical gremlins and rust are common on these. Power comes from a torquey 2.5L five-cylinder diesel paired with an automatic transmission, built for crawling over rocks rather than winning stoplight races. Fuel economy is honest about its priorities at 17 mpg combined, and you'll want to budget for rust prevention on these early-2000s examples.
