Description
Sadly selling my beautiful and trusty 2002 Defender 90 TD5.
This Defender comes with 12 months MOT (to July '26) and no advisories. All previous advisories have been addressed. The last major service was carried out by the excellent South West 4x4 in July 2024. The last minor service (engine oil + filters) was 6th July 2025. Engine oil & filters all been changed yearly since the vehicle has been in my possession, irrespective of miles done that year. It does not have a FSH as basic services done by myself or previous owner, who was a mechanic. It has lots of mods & extras making it both off-road prepped & more convenient for day to day usage & trips away. These include:
Warrior winch.
Bull bars.
Steering guard (ie an armoured plate covering the steering rods).
Partial roll cage.
Checker plate on bonnet and wings.
Rock sliders.

I've had this vehicle since 2016 and it's been a part of my life. I'd keep it if I could work on it but current living arrangements + other vehicles don't permit. There are a few things to do on the vehicle, in particular on secondary electrical systems and refit leisure battery. There is some bodywork rust, although chassis good and rear X-member already replaced. See pics for issues.
