Yes, the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches # SH22B will work great with your 2023 Land Rover Defender with a spare tire on the rear.

This bike rack also will give you the ability to carry up to 2 bikes that weigh up to 40-lbs each, has a tilting feature to let you get into the rear cargo area of your vehicle without taking the bikes off, and will work with bike wheels that are up to 3" wide.

In the video attached you can see this rack mounted onto a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with a rear spare tire for reference.
