hi there

I'm going to be looking at some defenders this weekend and i need to know what to look out for so i don't buy a stolen/ringer thats mate up from stolen parts.

help please!
 
Hello and welcome to Landyzone. I'd start by counting the wheels if it's been stood for a while! After that, and depending on the age of the vehicle, I'd hang around for a while until someone sensible answers you question. However, it would be beneficial if you posted in some detail what you're looking for, how much you want to spend and what you are likely to be using it for.

If you're looking for a 2014 model the advice will be much different to if you're looking to spend £750.00 on one.

match the engine number to the V5?

CHeck it has one, and then check it matches the V5, yes..... If it does not then ask the question , WHY? it may be perfectly OK, as siad above marmaduke has changed his engine. But the paperwork is not up to date.
Also check the MOT history , verify the mileage.
Take someone if possible who knows landies.
The chassis number and engine number positions are available in the owners handbook.
Is it an original 300tdi 110?

Cheers
