Description
Renowned for its rugged construction, impressive off-road capability and unmistakable styling, the Defender remains one of Britain’s most iconic utility vehicles. Powered by the sought-after 2.5-litre TD5 turbo diesel engine, this 2005 Defender 90 Pick-up represents one of the final years of traditional TD5 production.
This example has covered just 62,249 miles from new and benefits from a comprehensive service history, reflecting the care and maintenance it has received throughout its life. The current owner has continued to maintain the vehicle to a very good standard, with a full service completed in April 2026 in preparation for sale. In addition, a matching set of new tyres was fitted in April 2026 and has covered fewer than 500 miles since.
Finished in classic navy blue with a contrasting white roof, the exterior presents very well overall with no significant blemishes of note. A bespoke chequer plate load-bay cover has been fitted, providing additional security and practicality while complementing the vehicle’s purposeful appearance.
The white 16-inch steel wheels further enhance the traditional Defender aesthetic and, together with the recently fitted tyres, present in excellent condition. The remaining exterior elements, including the bumpers, wheel arches, grille and headlamp surrounds, are all presented in very good order.
Inside, the cabin retains the simple and functional character for which the Defender is renowned. The original three-seat configuration remains in place, with the centre seat fitted in lieu of a cubby box. The seats are presented in very good condition with minimal signs of wear, while the dashboard, switchgear, door cards and rubber floor mats remain well presented throughout. All electrical systems are reported to be functioning correctly.
Power comes from Land Rover’s dependable 2.5-litre TD5 turbocharged diesel engine, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox driving all four wheels. Benefiting from documented service history and recent maintenance, the vendor reports that the vehicle performs well, with no known mechanical or electrical faults and no warning lights illuminated on the dashboard.
Combining classic Defender styling with genuine practicality, this Defender 90 Pick-up represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-maintained and highly usable example of one of Britain’s most iconic utility vehicles. Benefiting from documented service history, a recent service and a new set of tyres, it is ready to be enjoyed immediately.
