2012 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110 DOUBLE CAB

KEY FACTS

• This Land Rover Defender 110 Double Cab is smartly specified and well-maintained example of the iconic British off-roader.
• Under the bonnet is a durable 2.2-litre DT224 diesel engine, which drives all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.
• This UK-market, right-hand drive example has been fitted with a replacement engine which has only covered 6,000 miles to date.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Presenting in its original specification, the Defender is finished in Aintree Green over a dark grey cloth interior.
• Other features include front full bars, a snorkel, chequer plate lower panels, and side protection runners.
• This example benefits from a modern touch-screen JVC media system with Apple CarPlay compatibility and a reversing camera.
• It rides on 16in ‘Boost’ alloy wheels with BF Goodrich mud terrain tyres.
• It will be supplied with its stamped service book showing comprehensive maintenance, alongside a folder of supporting invoices and its original toolkit.

CONDITION

• Described as being in fair condition by the vendor, the Defender’s Aintree Green paintwork has some nicks and marks, in particular around the tailgate and load bed, and some stone chips around the bluff front end.
• Some minor corrosion is visible in the usual Defender areas, including on the hinge covers under the windscreen.
• The rear bumper has been powder-coated as a rust prevention step, and the external floor area was Dinitrol treated in 2018.
• The hardwearing interior remains in good order, with signs of light use visible to the driver’s and front passenger seats, but no heavy wear or damage.
• The vendor reports no pre-existing faults, with no warning lights illuminated on the dashboard.
• The most recent MOT test was on 15 September 2020 at 64,644 miles. This was a first-time pass with no advisories.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The most recent service was carried out in January 2021 at 65,982 miles by John Dennis 4x4 Ltd. This was a major service, with replacement of the engine oil and coolant.
• In December 2019, the engine oil was replaced, while in September 2019 a new engine was installed, along with a new clutch, turbocharger and fuel injectors.
• During the vendor’s ownership, a new engine manifold has also been fitted.

SUMMARY

This Land Rover Defender 110 Double Cab is a handsome example of the storied original model. Used as intended and with a few marks and scuffs in that regard, this is an example to be enjoyed guilt-free rather than tucked away in a collection. Benefiting from a replacement engine with only 6,000 miles of use, it is ready to be put to use as a utility workhorse, practical daily driver, or even a capable off-road adventure vehicle.
