Avoid! I purchased a brand new Defender from this dealership despite hearing concerns about reliability. After only one year of ownership, the engine failed. The vehicle had consumed all of it's oil, and because it was a few thousand miles over its most recent service interval, the warranty claim was denied. The dealership’s position was essentially that the issue was between myself and Land Rover. While they did assist with communication, they offered no goodwill gesture or contribution themselves, despite me making it clear that I wanted to remain a customer and find a fair resolution. I was quoted £23,500 for a replacement engine, which was difficult to justify on a vehicle of this age. In the end, the dealership agreed to buy the car back, stating it was “the best price they could offer”, BUT this was reduced to account for the FULL engine cost, resulting in a significant financial loss for me. What makes the experience even more disappointing is that only a few months later, the same vehicle appears to be listed for around £10,000 more than I was paid. Given that I ultimately covered the entire engine cost, it leaves the impression that the dealership was able to profit from my misfortune and a situation where I absorbed the loss. Overall, this experience left me feeling unsupported after spending a substantial amount on what should have been a premium ownership experience. Would not recommend.
