ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Land Rover Defender 130?
The 2025 Land Rover Defender 130 enters the federal safety record with a profile that is notable for its absence of activity. Zero recalls and zero owner complaints place it squarely in the Clean burden band, meaning no federal safety campaigns have been initiated and no consumers have submitted allegations to NHTSA for this specific model year. The Safety Desk notes that a one-year-old vehicle often carries a limited complaint history simply because the ownership pool is still small and time-in-service is short, so the zero-complaint figure should be read in that context rather than as a definitive signal. No tested sibling years are available in the NHTSA data we cover, so there is no adjacent crash-test record to reference as a navigational guide.
