I bought my 300tdi with 82k on the clock and its been a sound motor. Had the original reciept, all MOTs and service history right up to within 12k of when I bought it (previous owner did his own work). The only imminent thing I changed was the radiator as it had a slight leak. a few hours and £100 done.
I dont know why you keep banging on and worrying about genuine mileage etc. ANY car can have the same issues that you outlined, not just Defenders. Just use your loaf when buying/inspecting. You can tell when a landy has been towing lots because the transmission will be slack, it will be on its forth transfer box and most of them smoke like a train! tow bat gives it away also
I think your making a mistake with a Puma. Its a lot of money, and I think you will be disappointed. Good luck with your purchase, I hope the Puma does not put you off Defenders for life. Maybe you will come back to a 300tdi eventually.
