Land Rover Defender keeps an estimated 63% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #161 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Land Rover Defender retains an estimated 63% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #161 of 530 cars we track. That is 6 points above the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Land Rover Defender sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $63,500 it falls to around $40,195 by year five — a five-year loss near $23,305, about $12.77 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Land Rover Defender bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
