Description
We’re delighted to offer this 2009 Land Rover Defender 110 County Double Cab 2.4 TDCi 4WD, finished in stunning Galway Metallic Green with contrasting Santorini Black roof and wheel arches, showing 78,000 miles with just 1 previous keeper. Powered by Land Rover’s legendary 2.4-litre TDCi diesel engine, paired with the 6-speed manual gearbox and permanent four-wheel drive, this is an exceptional 5-seat Defender 110 Double Cab that has undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment and improvement, with the previous owner advising that over £12,000 has been invested during the last 18 months. The current MOT runs through to 29/04/2027.
Presentation is a real strong point, with the vehicle in immaculate condition throughout and an extensive list of recently renewed and upgraded components including Brand-New Lights, New Grilles, New Wing Mirrors, New Side Steps, New Wheels, New Tyres, New Rear Roll-Over Bar, Sparco Seats, New Door Hinges, Stainless-Steel Bolts Throughout, Floor Pans Removed & Reinstalled with Stainless-Steel Fixings, Galway Metallic Green Bodywork, Santorini Black Roof & Wheel Arches and Extensive Exterior Detailing. The interior is described as being like new, matching the exceptional standard of the exterior. Importantly, this isn't simply a cosmetic transformation – the chassis, crossmember and bulkhead are described as rock solid, there are no oil leaks, and the previous owner, having owned several Defenders, describes this as the best-driving example they have owned.
It comes with an excellent documented service and maintenance history, retaining its original Land Rover service portfolio with records stretching back through the vehicle's life:
11,727 miles – 18/11/2010 – Kentdale Land Rover – Service
18,629 miles – 16/02/2011 – Kentdale Land Rover – Service including Brake Fluid Change & Anti-Corrosion Inspection
35,220 miles – 17/03/2014 – Kentdale Land Rover – Service & Anti-Corrosion Inspection; Front & Rear Brake Pads noted as replaced

45,092 miles – 15/03/2016 – Simon Huntington Independent Land Rover & Range Rover Specialists – Service
49,853 miles – 14/03/2017 – Simon Huntington Independent Land Rover & Range Rover Specialists – Service
54,172 miles – 26/02/2018 – Simon Huntington Independent Land Rover & Range Rover Specialists – Service
66,134 miles – 14/10/2022 – Repair & Service Motors – Service
70,872 miles – 24/10/2025 – Southport Motorist Centre – Oil Service using MPM 5W30 Engine Oil, Front & Rear Differential Oils Changed using MPM 80W90, Transfer Box Oil Changed using MPM 75W90 GL4/5 + Gearbox Oil Changed using MPM 75W80 GL4
The history is particularly reassuring for a Defender of this age, with the original Land Rover service portfolio still present and documented maintenance stretching back to its early life. It was originally supplied by Kentdale Land Rover in March 2009, with its earlier maintenance carried out by the supplying Land Rover dealer before servicing continued with independent Land Rover & Range Rover specialists. Particularly noteworthy is the comprehensive service carried out at 70,872 miles in October 2025, when alongside the engine oil service, the front and rear differential oils, transfer box oil and gearbox oil were all changed. This is exactly the sort of preventative drivetrain maintenance you want to see on a Defender.
The level of recent investment really sets this example apart. The previous owner advises that more than £12,000 has been spent during the last 18 months, with attention given not just to its appearance but to the small details throughout the vehicle. From the new wheels and tyres, lighting, grilles, mirrors, side steps, roll-over bar and Sparco seats, right down to the door hinges, stainless-steel fixings and floor pans being removed and refitted, this has clearly been a labour of love rather than a basic cosmetic makeover.
