2023 Land Rover Defender 110 P525 V8

Land Rover's Defender 110 P525 is the supercharged V8 version of the modern Defender, pairing the 5.0-litre engine with permanent four-wheel drive and a 3,500 kg towing rating. Its quoted 518 bhp and 625 lb-ft deliver a 0-60mph time of 5.1 seconds and a 149 mph top speed, which is serious pace for a body this tall and square.

This 2023 (73-plate) car has covered 19,608 miles and is finished in Carpathian Grey, a factory paint option. Other listed extras are Advanced Tow Assist with an electrically deployable towbar and twin front cupholders with a cover. The cabin has a Meridian surround sound system, a heated steering wheel, 40-20-40 split-folding heated rear seats with a centre armrest, wireless device charging with a phone signal booster, and blind spot assist.

The P525 is the Defender for buyers who want the V8 character of the old Land Rover range alongside current-generation capability. Mileage is modest for its age, and the combination of towing hardware and the top-tier petrol engine makes it a versatile all-rounder.
