Description
First registered in 2003, this Defender has covered 118,219 miles and remains in very good condition overall for its age.
The bodywork presents well, with only minor blemishes and age-related marks as expected. There are some typical signs of light corrosion in keeping with the model and year, but overall, it remains a smart and honest example. The underside is clean and solid, reflecting careful upkeep.
The silver alloy wheels are in good order and are fitted with all-terrain tyres, all of which retain plenty of tread.
Moving inside, the cabin is well presented. The driver’s seat shows some age-related wear consistent with mileage, while the remainder of the interior remains in very good condition. As an XS model, it benefits from electric windows and heated front seats, all functioning as expected. This example also features a sunroof. In the rear compartment, there are two fold-down seats fitted with lap belts, adding practicality while retaining the classic Defender layout.
Under the bonnet is the 2.5-litre TD5 engine driving all four wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. Mechanically, the vehicle is reported to be in good order with no faults noted. It has been serviced by the same garage during the current ownership and in 2024 received a new clutch master cylinder.
As far as 4x4s go, the rugged charm and capability of the Defender 90 are hard to surpass. Combining practicality, character and sought-after XS specification, this example stands ready to provide many more miles of dependable service.
