2021 Land Rover Defender 3.0 D300 X-Dynamic HSE 110 5-door Diesel Estate

Description

So, I’ve had this Land Rover Defender for a few years now — bought it new, just before the pandemic, and it’s honestly been one of the most reliable, comfortable, and capable cars I’ve ever driven. It’s in Hakuba Silver, which looks sharp in the right light, and it’s not flashy, just solid — like it knows what it’s doing.

It’s a 3.0 D300 diesel, so it’s got that punchy, quiet power under the hood — no drama, no lugging — just smooth, calm performance whether I’m on the motorway or trying to make it through a muddy field. The 47,488 miles are real, and it’s been well looked after. I’ve had it through a full 165-point check, and it still runs like a dream. Land Rover warranty’s still active, so I’ve got peace of mind for now.

Inside, it’s got that classic Defender blend — Ebony Windsor leather seats, which feel good to sit in, even after long drives. The Robustec material is tough, but not harsh. There’s a family pack in there, so it’s got plenty of space — I’ve taken it on trips with kids, friends, even weekend camping. The cold climate pack means the seats and windscreen stay warm in winter, which is a real plus when the weather turns nasty.

I’ve got a secure tracker, which I use for peace of mind, and the tow bar pulls out neatly when I need it — perfect for when I’ve got a trailer or a caravan. The alloy wheels are 22-inch gloss black, and there’s a full spare and black roof rails — gives it that rugged, purposeful look without being overly aggressive.

Driving it is a real joy. The adaptive dynamics keep it stable on winding roads, and the air suspension makes it smooth on both tarmac and gravel. The panoramic roof gives a nice view, and the cabin stays quiet and insulated — you don’t hear the road or wind much. It’s got all the modern bits: Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, cruise control, blind spot assist, lane keep, parking sensors, heated seats, heated windscreen, and even a rear camera.

I’ve used it every day — from city drives to weekend getaways — and it’s never let me down. It’s not some over-the-top luxury machine; it’s practical, capable, and just feels right. I’ve driven it in the countryside, on quiet roads, through villages, even in the rain — and it handles it all.

I’m selling it now because I’m moving to a new place — danbury, Chelmsford — and I’m looking to simplify my car collection. It’s been a great companion over the years, and I’m happy to part with it.

It’s not just a car — it’s been part of my routine, my adventures, my life. I’ll be honest — it’s not cheap, it’s not flashy, but it’s solid. And it’s still got that classic Defender spirit.

If you’re someone who values reliability, comfort, and a bit of off-road capability — this one might just be what you’re looking for.

(Price is £48,169.80 — I’ll be happy to chat about it if you’re interested.)
