Don’t know if this is of any interest to you but it’s very low miles and the garage selling it has a good reputation.


It looks lovely, the 2.4's do seem cheaper and that's the £750 road tax one. After l claim the tax back on that Utility it comes out at £28,000

l would still consider it though, l could spend the rest of my life waiting for the "perfect" Defender and going over the figures again and again, or l could just buy one and start driving it.


I don't believe any of the usw were higher tax bracket.


Sorry didn't look at link its not a usw it's a sw so 09 sw will be m1. Cheers

This suggests you are running it as a company truck? The rules changed in April this year and I believe (but could be wrong) that it will now attract company car tax instead of Van benefit if purchased after the switch over date.

Yes l would have hoped to put it through my business. The discussion about whether the Utility was ever a "van" with HMRC has gone to about five pages on another forum.

Some have put them through anyway, and the dealer selling that green Utility at £35,000 insists that you still can.

But some are listed as "Double Cab" on the V5 and that's no longer an option with HMRC

l could just charge the business for use of it like l did with my old TD5 SW. ln that case l may as well get a SW rather than a Utility as there's no benefit.

For a SW what about this one, it's on sale at a dealer close to me which is a benefit if l need any warranty work !
The dealer has a good reputation locally.
The Landy has done 88,000 miles which is a bit high. I'll have a look at it this weekend.

I don't understand why you think 86,000 miles is high for a 12-year-old vehicle.
