We recently bought a 2003 Defender from a local dealer.
It's done 112,000 miles and is a really good one, drives very well.
There's one issue and that's the clutch. It's very abrupt in the fact that it is hard to change gear without shunting the transmission. Particularly in reverse, difficult to do it without a "thunk" as the drive engages.
Once the clutch "bites" it's progressive and doesn't slip or judder.
Is this a clutch issue or could the DMF be worn out? The biting point is about normal, the same as on my 110.
