Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Defender 110.
The 2025 Land Rover Defender 110 presents reliability data consisting of 12 total owner complaints and 2 recalls, with the Visibility/Wiper area emerging as the top complaint focus. This profile compares against a model complaint history spanning 1993 through 2024, where recorded complaints fluctuated from a low of 1 in 1994 to a high of 75 in 2023. This places the current model year well below the recent peak seen in 2023, indicating a lower volume of complaints relative to the immediate past despite the long-term historical range.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2025 Land Rover Defender 110 lands late in the current generation's complaint arc, well past the 2023 peak of 75 complaints and 9 recalls and following 2024's clear pullback to 21 complaints and 6 recalls. TSB volume has declined steadily across the modern run—456 in 2022, 394 in 2023, and 222 in 2024—indicating that manufacturer fixes have been accumulating rather than new systemic issues emerging. Within 2025, the dominant complaint cluster is Visibility/Wiper at 7 reports, with only a handful of lower-volume powertrain/electrical items; this is a much narrower complaint mix than the multi-system noise of 2022–2023, and the year carries no reported crash complaints and no open investigations. One fire complaint is on file for 2025, but the data does not specify its root cause or whether it triggered a recall, so that single report warrants direct verification with a vehicle-history report. The 1993–1994 entries reflect the prior-generation Defender and are not directly comparable, but the modern arc is the relevant one for a used 2025 purchase. On balance, 2025 appears to be a defensible point in the generation to buy—the worst early-cycle friction is fading, the leading complaint is a minor subsystem, and a pre-purchase inspection should specifically verify wiper/visibility operation and confirm the fire complaint's resolution status.
