l've never heard of a CV joint failing on a new Defender.
Maybe for extreme use you'd be better with an lneos Grenadier or Jeep Wrangler both of which are live axle vehicles and a fair bit tougher.

I also never heard of a broken CV joint on a Defender, neither in online communities or in real life meet ups. I certainly never had a problem like that in a few thousand offroad miles. It’s not really intended to be a hardcore rock crawling platform (nor is the grenadier).

l think the Grenadier is definitely more "hardcore" than the Defender though. (and l own a Defender)

The Defender is a road optimised vehicle that's competent off road.
The Grenadier is an off road optimised vehicle that's okay on the tarmac.
