Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1995 Land Rover Defender 90, previously used by the military, was demobbed in 2019 and has since been used regularly, now showing 95,000km. Recent maintenance includes a 2020 service, power steering work, and new rear shock absorbers in 2021 and 2023, with an MOT running to June 2024.

Condition

While the car has been regularly used and maintained, as evidenced by the odometer reading and service history, it also comes with some wear and tear. The presence of a military pickaxe, NATO hitch, and spare driver's seat suggest it retains much of its original military outfitting, which may appeal to some buyers but also indicates a utilitarian rather than pristine condition. The MOT with no advisories is a positive sign, but the description suggests it is not in perfect cosmetic condition.
