This is a highly original and well-kept example of the iconic Defender 110 XS Double Cab – a vehicle cherished by enthusiasts for its rugged mechanical integrity and timeless design. Finished in classic Indus Silver and paired with the factory XS trim level, it retains its authentic character throughout, with the only deviation being a discreetly upgraded head unit for Bluetooth functionality.

Owned by the same keeper since March 2015, who acquired it as an Approved Used vehicle from his local Land Rover dealer, it has been meticulously maintained throughout his decade of ownership. A comprehensive folder of documentation accompanies the car, including main dealer and specialist service records dating back to 2015.

The XS trim is considered the most desirable factory specification of the Defender range, combining utility with refinement. It includes air conditioning, part-leather heated seats, ABS, traction control, heated windscreen, electric windows, remote central locking, and body-coloured wheel arches, roof, and front grille. These features add genuine day-to-day usability and comfort without compromising the Defender’s utilitarian roots.

Service history is extensive and well-documented. The vehicle was first serviced by Harwoods Chichester in September 2015 at 11,719 miles. A major service followed in December 2016 by Bugs & Buses Specialist at 19,965 miles. Heritage 4X4 carried out regular servicing in October 2017 at 28,842 miles and again in February 2019 at 39,678 miles. Land Rover Portsmouth completed a full health check and EGR and fluid replacement in October 2021 at 59,293 miles. In October 2022, ball joints were replaced and alignment carried out at 62,266 miles, also by Land Rover Portsmouth. Further health check and service were completed in March 2024 at 62,323 miles. In April 2025, the car was inspected by C&C Land Rover Specialists at 62,429 miles, with front caliper and brake pads replaced. Most recently, we carried out an interim service at Surrey Hills Motor Company in April 2025 at 62,579 miles.

Since coming into our care, it has undergone a full inspection at a respected Land Rover specialist, including an underbody service. MOT is valid until February 2026 with no outstanding advisories following recent brake maintenance.

This example presents in excellent condition for its age, mechanically sound, and visually unmodified aside from the subtle audio upgrade. It has never been subject to any write-offs, or insurance claims and shows no signs of heavy off-road use.

For purists and collectors, this Defender represents a rare opportunity to own a later-model Puma-engined 110 with an unbroken and traceable maintenance history, careful long-term ownership, and minimal modifications. Ready to be enjoyed or preserved.
