An Australian YouTube channel, ReDriven, is out here doing the lord’s work—saving people from wasting their money on used car disasters. This time, the spotlight (or firing squad?) is on the Land Rover Defender.

Now, is it a design icon? Absolutely. Park it anywhere and people will assume you’re adventurous, wealthy, and possibly lost. But as far as engineering goes? Let’s just say the bar is underground.

ReDriven spends 31 minutes lovingly tearing the Defender apart, revealing gems like windshields that crack just for fun—yours for $2,000 AUD with no warranty or insurance help. Headlight modules that quit like they’re on strike. Trim that falls off like it’s allergic to the car. And of course, the bonnet release cable that just… stops releasing.

Oh, and the infamous air suspension warning light? If it isn’t on, you should be worried—because that means it’s probably broken in a new and exciting way. I used to own a brand-new Land Rover Discovery. Sixteen years later, guess what? Still the same air suspension drama. Consistency, at least!

But wait, there’s more. The Ingenium petrol engines—Land Rover’s proud in-house disaster—feature timing chains that can snap out of sheer spite, plus an appetite for oil that would make a rotary engine blush.

By the end of the review, ReDriven makes it crystal clear: if you’re thinking about buying a used Land Rover Defender… don’t. Just don’t. Light your money on fire instead—it’ll cause fewer problems.
