2015 Land Rover Defender 110

Finished in an attractive Sage Green with a black leather Autobiography interior, this 110 was first registered in Australia, where it spent the majority of its life so far, enjoying the dry, salt-free climate on offer.

Subsequently imported into the UK during 2017 by the then-owner (our vendor suggests this was likely due to a job transfer, meaning this 110 must’ve held some strong sentimental value to be shipped across the world) the vehicle was then purchased by our vendor during July 2020, and used for numerous family outings.

Making the most of the roof bars installed by the previous owner, this Defender was utilised for hauling kayaks and other waterspouts equipment on numerous adventures, proving itself to be a rugged, reliable and genuinely enjoyable daily driver during the 1.5 years in the care of our vendor.

Prior to our vendor’s time with the car, the dashboard fascia and stereo were upgraded, incorporating a touch-screen double-din stereo with CarPlay / smartphone connectivity, and an additional Alpine amplifier, which looks very smart indeed in our opinion.

Now, having retired and with the children having moved out, the 110 is simply too big for the current owners’ needs, meaning it is time for our vendor to downsize their daily driver, providing the opportunity for one lucky Land Rover enthusiast to own this desirable, late-model example.

As you’d expect from an example with a low recorded mileage and low ownership, the bodywork and paint on this Defender is in fantastic condition throughout, and is a true credit to the care and attention its received throughout its lifetime.

No doubt aided by the dry climate it spent the first part of its life in, there does not appear to be any sign of surface corrosion on the bodywork that we can see, nor any signs of impact damage or mis-aligned panels, whilst the only particularly note-worthy mark we can see (other than the usual odd stone chip and usage mark) is on the offside rear wing, just below the fuel filler cap.

Both the front and rear bumper are free of any noticeable marks or indentations, and all of the light lenses are in excellent condition, free of damage and benefitting from upgraded LED light units, which no doubt transform the night-time driving experience with this 110.

The roof rack is in excellent condition as far as we can see, and has certainly proven its worth whilst in its current ownership, giving even more flexibility to the Defender’s already impressive load-carrying capability.

All four wheels are in excellent condition, shod in suitably macho-looking all-terrain tyres with plenty of life left in them, and an unused spare is mounted on the side-hinged rear door.

Impressively luxurious for what was based upon a utilitarian vehicle, the Autobiography interior of this particular example presents very well indeed, with both front seats free of any rips, tears or major wear, and the same being true of both rear rows.

Looking closer, there are some notable wear-and-tear marks to high-traffic areas such as the door cards, inner edges of the doors (specifically to the carpet) arm rests and the load bay floor, though no doubt a deep valet would significantly improve the appearance of the interior.

The only particular corrosion-related issue we noted during our photo shoot is located on the inner edge of the front door, where a scab of corrosion - around the size of a 5 pence piece - is to be found, likely caused by repeated wear to the same area over the years.

As far as we could tell - and to the best of the vendor’s knowledge - all of the systems are working correctly, and there are no faults with the interior.

Please note, the odometer is in kilometres (as an Australian-delivered car) and not miles.

As with the bodywork, the chassis has been preserved in fantastic condition by spending numerous years down under, and has evidently been kept in good condition since arriving in the UK, as the underside presents very well indeed.

From what we can see, there are no signs of any issues or problems that set our alarm bells ringing, and the most recent MOT exam - dated 18 June 2021 and valid until 13 July 2022, shows a pass with advisories for “slightly damaged or frayed nearside front seatbelt webbing” and no RPM detected for the emissions smoke test.

The 2.2-litre Duratorq TDI engine is in rude health, as is the transmission and drivetrain as a whole. Our vendor reports no mechanical issues, and during our photo shoot the car behaved impeccably, with no sign of any smoke under acceleration or deceleration, nor any strange noises or behaviours noted by the photographer.

Included with the vehicle is the V5 showing 1 former UK keeper, Australian registration documents, UK registration document, and numerous invoices for servicing and miscellaneous work carried out to the car whilst in the vendor’s care.

Potential bidders should note that the current registration on the vehicle is private, and the car will revert to its age-related registration of WX15 UAK.

Presented in fantastic condition, this 2015-registered Land Rover Defender 110 is a fantastic, late-model example of the iconic Defender, from the last full year of production of the body-on-frame Defender.

Having started life in Australia and benefitting from attentive ownership and care, this is an excellent and usable example that makes a compelling case as a go-anywhere daily driver for those that need a vehicle that will get them through almost any situation, yet provide rugged reliability and endless practicality.

As for how much this unflappable long-wheelbase Defender will cost, we estimate a value of £35,000 to £45,000, but be sure to bid well and bid often to be in with the chance of owning this fantastic Defender!
