Comprehensive recommissioning by Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works in early 2025
Significant mechanical renewal including brakes, suspension and engine belts
New wheels, tires, front bumpers and front LED lighting fitted
MOT valid until October 2027
The Appeal
The Defender is an ever-capable off-roader that seemed to only get better as production continued. With its boxy proportions and ever-rugged performance remaining consistent year-by-year, it really hit something of a nadir with the 2.2-litre Turbodiesel powertrain. This hardware was endlessly capable and versatile, really hammering home the Defender's all-duty nature without sacrificing the distinctly agricultural character that made the Land Rover nameplate so legendary in the first place.
This 2013 example has been the subject of considerable investment since the current owner acquired it in January 2025. A comprehensive recommissioning program was carried out by Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works in February 2025, encompassing mechanical, electrical and cosmetic improvements across a wide scope of work detailed below. The vehicle has continued to be maintained, serviced and MOT-tested by JLR Classic Works since. Offered with an MOT valid until October 2027, this Defender is mechanically sorted and ready to enjoy from day one.image.png3.81 MB
