Recent MOT especially if it's an older model, for sure.

That's a good question. I wish I had information I could share but unfortunately I do not.

For example, I love fixing things and learning things as I go, like with my old '88 K5. So I got set on these Land Rover Defenders- but was quickly advised against without much reason.
And them obviously wanting something reliable for the wife as well.

One thing is maintenance, look up part prices, see what your average parts cost, I bought and 04 Audi S4, wanted to do the clutch, clutch $250 US just the clutch Audi recommended to change the flywheel when the clutch is done, flywheel $1086.00 US , love my car but that hurts. Well good luck choose wisely.
