Chassis rust-proofed every two to three years from new
Serviced by ex an independent Land Rover specialist
Upgraded with a roll cage, Mach 5 alloy wheels with mud terrain tires, and side protection bars
MOT until August 6th, 2027
The Appeal
The Defender 90 XS was the most refined specification of Land Rover's legendary workhorse, pairing the model's renowned off-road capability with creature comforts such as half leather heated seats, air conditioning, and additional soundproofing. With the desirability of final-generation Defender refusing to wane, well-maintained XS examples are increasingly sought after.
This 2013 example has been in the care of one family from new, and the level of attention it has received is immediately apparent. All servicing has been carried out by ex workshop manager at an independent Land Rover specialist, and the vendor reports it has been maintained yearly with no known faults. The vendor describes the overall condition as very good, noting only an odd mark and a small dent on the passenger fender.
Complemented by a suite of practical enhancements including a roll cage, Mach 5 alloy wheels with mud terrain tires, and side protection bars, this Defender 90 XS presents as a well-sorted example that has clearly been looked after with care and consistency.image.png4.88 MB
