The LAND ROVER DEFENDER 130 (2022-25) 5DR SUV 5.0P V8 500 GPF SS EU6 5 SEAT AUTO8 is a full-size, five-door luxury SUV, combining the Defender’s rugged look with a powerful petrol V8. In the UK market, it sits at the premium end, aimed at buyers wanting presence, performance and off-road ability. mycarcheck.com records 12 look-ups covering 10 VINs, so the sample is modest; the average private-sale valuation is £84,000. The checks show an average of 0.42 previous keepers, suggesting these examples are relatively new, though histories vary. Its five-seat layout suits families needing space, towing users and long-distance travellers, rather than city drivers seeking a small, economical runabout. The V8 delivers brisk, confident performance, while the tall stance and tough styling set it apart from plush rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7. Expect substantial fuel costs; choose it for character, comfort and capability, not economy.
