If I had an 88" Defender I would be worried about who had nicked 2" off my chassis

Stats look suspect to me why is there a spike around 1971?

Strange, but when I drive the gauntlet of "little Bangladesh" on my way to work, at least 70% of the cars I encounter have some sort of lighting defect, from no front lights at all to brake lights stuck on and everything in between, and mostly modern cars. Has anyone else noticed how a certain group of people believe they can compensate for having a headlight out by putting the remaining light on full beam ? I wonder how many of these owners have "dodgy" MOT's ?
NEVER TRUST STATISTICS 87% are made up.

basicly only 50 percent passed successfully meaning the other half have a good chance of passing too,because the headlights arnt controlled by computers, and the indicators, and brake lights, and the master cylinder dosent cost 700 quid! and also at least 75% of land roves ever made before 1999-2000 are still on the road!!! older motors are better and we all know it! point proven!

I bet that not many of the other cars still work or play hard for a living like many landy's do, Series 3 and 1990 90 working/playing.

Now I'm 99% sure you'll struggle to find the following on a standard 88" Series?

0.012% fail on Cable
0.012% fail on Subframe mounting
0.023% fail on Constant velocity joints
0.012% fail on Sub-frames
0.058% fail on Panhard rods
0.046% fail on Fluid suspension
0.035% fail on Suspension arms
0.023% fail on Trailing arms
0.023% fail on Radius arms
0.023% fail on Torque / reaction arms
0.012% fail on Coil springs
0.012% fail on Steering rack

What a complete load of tosh
