Is RORO the right method for a Land Rover Defender 110?

The Defender's high ground clearance and standard spec suited RORO. No personal effects required, so RORO was the most cost-effective option.

Could a thorough UK clean have avoided the AQIS hold?

Yes — a £180 steam-clean at a Southampton port valeter would almost certainly have passed first time. We now include pre-loading biosecurity clean as standard on UK-Australia shipments.
