How much does a used Land Rover Defender cost in Singapore?

Most used Land Rover Defender on the market are around 6 years old, asking roughly S$194k–S$219k (typically about S$216k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.

How much does a used Land Rover Defender depreciate per year?

A used Land Rover Defender drops fastest in its early years, then eases off from around 5 years old to roughly 11% a year — so that's the sweet spot to buy into, letting someone else absorb the steep early depreciation.

Is the Land Rover Defender reliable?

In our read, the Land Rover Defender scores 45 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.

Where do these Land Rover Defender figures come from?

They're worked out from current used-Land Rover Defender listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.

Price range: P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
Down payment: MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
Availability: High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

Brand reliability: Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
Resale strength: 100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
Peer set: Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
Quadrants: The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict

All-new 2nd-gen Defender — monocoque chassis replaces the old body-on-frame Defender. Built on JLR's MLA / D7x platform. Ingenium I6 petrol + diesel + P400e plug-in hybrid options. Cars 1-5 years old; limited long-term reliability data. Inherits the Ingenium I6 engine family (different and materially better than the problematic 2.0 Ingenium diesel of the Evoque / Discovery Sport era). Multiple recalls in launch years 2020-2022. Air suspension is optional but rare on Defender (most use coil springs).

Asking: S$216k–341k
Median: S$242k
Decay: —

What's good

Post-2022 build with all launch-year recalls closed via VIN — first 2-3 years of any new JLR platform sees the densest recalls. Post-2022 cars + closed paperwork = the cleanest used L663 pick.
Ingenium I6 (D300 / D350 diesel or P400 petrol) with documented service — the I6 is a meaningful step up from the problematic 2.0 Ingenium diesel of the Evoque era. Coil-spring standard suspension sidesteps the air-suspension long-term cost line.

What to watch

2020-2021 launch-year build with vague recall paperwork — densest launch-year recall cluster on the new platform. Walking without verifying all recalls closed is the rational default.
P400e plug-in hybrid with no HV battery health receipt — limited long-term data on JLR plug-in hybrid systems. Without paperwork the long-term battery-health uncertainty band is wide; pull SOH at viewing.

Verdict

Iconic body-on-frame Land Rover Defender 1st gen — 30+ year production. Multiple engine eras (TDi, Td5, TDCi). Cult-collector status. Cars 9-42 years old. Specialist Land Rover service essential. Rust + aged-Defender items dominate.

Asking: S$67k–115k
Median: S$87k
Decay: —

What's good

Documented Land Rover specialist service + rust-free body inspection — when serviced and rust-free, the body is the asset; that's what to confirm.
Low mileage + documented provenance — cult-collector territory, where provenance is everything.

What to watch

Visible body rust or chassis corrosion — Defender body rust is the silent killer. Walk on heavily affected.
Patchy service history at high mileage — this car needs specialist service to stay healthy.
