I would agree with the panomic roof - remember it comes in two forms, fixed and opening, if you can get an opening one it would be a bonus. I have just partexchanged a 2015 (15 plate) HSE Dynamic with privacy, fixed pano and 22” OEM style 504 alloys as factory options and the stainless steel front and rear bash plates as dealer fitted options. It has just short of 23000 miles and should just fall into the upper end of your budget when it goes onto the Inverness dealer’s forecourt. It was also Corris Grey with an Ebony and Lunar interior. I don’t think that there any must haves apart from the pano roof but there are some nice to haves! Full size spare is always useful but not a must have as the car gets a suitable spare, the balance of any paid for service agreement is nice to have (mine went with 2 years still to run _ it is transferable to later owners and gives free servicing), one nice not to have because of all the issues appears to be InControl Touch Pro which came in with 2016MY, the 825watt audio used to be standard but cars later than 2016 have a 380 watt system that is rubbish, if you can find one with the 1700w Meridian it is excellent but I wouldn’t pay extra on a used car to get it. If you do a lot of miles on the motorway then the additional washer water tank (a £30 optional extra) is useful but not a must have. Also bear in mind that there are two versions of the HSE......... HSE and HSE Dynamic, the dynamic gives the full on off-road transmission with auto-terrain response and the trick handling pack - I would always choose that over the non-Dynamic even though there is a lot more to go wrong with it the handling is hugely improved in Dynamic mode. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The problem with the whole "must haves" is that each is personal. Do you mean "what will be best come time to sell it?" or "which are really great and you couldn't live without?"? Buying a car with a view to what someone else will want 2 years down the line is not on my own agenda, that's for sure.

L494 RRS was designed to take up to 22” L320 was not and suspension suffered as a result when wheels bigger than 20” were fitted. Also L320 had problems with suspension bushes that caused rumbles from the suspension even after relatively short life. I have a TDv8 that went through 2 sets on the front end within warranty. I had no issues with ride quality on 22’s on my recently departed SDv6bHSD and there was still 5.5mm tread depth all round after 23000 miles some of which were off road. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
