Off to look at a 2013 Defender 110 2.2 diesel tomorrow. Is there anything in particular to check for on these? I'm not a LR aficionado by any stretch, hence the question...

Usual Defender stuff....
2013 might just start to be showing signs of corrosion on the chassis, doors and bulkhead but at that age it should be very easily rectified.
Excessive slack in the drive train and play in the steering are other common problems.

Rust. Leaks. Baggy driveline. Poor gearshift. Dodgy Electrics.

If any of these are not present then you should be concerned, as it might be a different vehicle that’s been modified to look like a Defender to inflate the price
