Not sure to be honest , would be very surprised if the owner doesn’t get issues down the line
Will be an interesting conversation at the dealers

So far as the Defender in the OP is concerned, cant blame the driver when various bits of LR put out videos such as this one:
Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
2012 RRS SDV6
2008 RRS TDV8
"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

Had a "flat earther" in a pub in Staithes once trying to tell me about the tides being proof of the flat earth as they showed when the water reaches the end it then comes rushing back Must stop buying shiny toys....

They do like to push their vehicles over there in the Slavic lands, don't they. Saw a video of a new Defender going round a Russian 4x4 play site. Weren't worried about chucking it through some very interesting, and deep, mud etc.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

YouTube popped this one up after the one above ...
I wonder if the lack of number plates (or at one point a number plate saying "JaguarLandRover" ) is because they don't want to be identified when causing loads of damage to the countryside (obviously NOT as they have company logos all over them )
or so the customer will never know what the "pre-handover test drive" entailed ?
