Mechanically simple doesn't necessarily mean less likely to break down

An old 200 Tdi is pretty simple. A modern 110, not really. As Dammit said, there is a lot that could go wrong.
Also, given the size of a Defender, there is so little room inside. If you go for a van or a station wagon, the door is tiny and a right faff to negotiate. A pickup is dead easy, but also inherently not secure.
A 90 has a turning circle akin to the QE2, a 110 is even worse. Not fun for car parks, tight junctions or anything that is not a field.They are great if you "get" them, but there are so many objectively better options.

Is a Defender 110 as mechanically simple as it is possible to get, while also being able to get a bike in the back?
