HA, Its a Land Rover. There is/was a video of the last one coming off the production line. Interview's with the suits going on. In the background a worker is giving it the final checks and can be seen giving the door a heave ho to get it right.
Try moving latch in some, may help but door may be difficult to shut.

Certainly looks a little out of shape.

Did you use any shims under the hinges ?

Hi thanks for the reply, I haven’t had any hinges off yet. My first defender so not sure what I’m doing

If you are able to remove the top hinge(either bolts on door or bulkhead which ever is easier) then get the door striker in a bit. See if the bottom goes in & the top stops in line. Then this shows you need a shim/adjustment on that hinge
Happy spannering
