Market analysis
How much does a used Land Rover Defender starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Land Rover Defender starter are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 6 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.
Model year matters too: 2022 units carry the lowest median at $190, while 2025 tops the table at $337. Parts from 2015–2024 are interchangeable, so if the 2022 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 10 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Land Rover Defender sits 75% above the Ford F150 ($120), 68% above the Mercedes S Class ($125), and 147% above the Dodge Challenger ($85) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used starter: what to check
- Ask if the unit was bench-tested. Starters are cheap to test and yards that do will say so.
- Match the flywheel tooth count and mounting bolt pattern to your engine code.
- Check the solenoid connector style; mid-year changes are common.
- A remanufactured unit with warranty is sometimes only slightly more than used, so compare both.
