What Land Rover Defender do most buyers choose?

The Land Rover Defender years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Higher-volume years usually give you more shopping choice, which can make it easier to compare prices, trims, and condition. They also tend to be the years most buyers cross-shop first because inventory depth helps you find a better fit.

What is the Land Rover Defender's resale value?

Most model years in the table show double-digit price declines, which is good news if you’re shopping used.

That pattern gives you more room to find a deal while still shopping a vehicle with strong demand.

The 2025, 2021, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
