I am looking at a 2005 05 defender 110 double cab xs
anyone know a value of this roughly ?
its got 48000 miles and 1 years mot and tax
it looks immaculate, might be going to see it tomorrow
the asking price is £14000

Sounds roughly about right unless you have the plate to go with it and if Gaz is about for a cap value.

Defenders will keep their money so much longer than anything else that's about so at that age and price point it will be depreciating a bit slower at this age point. FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
Mantec Sump Guard, Rigid Load liner, MY10 BT upgrade.

here it is, it seems immaculate to me

Nice and original and unmolested.

£14,000 seems on the high side to me but the condition, as you've established, appears to be very high.

Td5's suffer from oil leaching into the injector harness, so ask if that's been replaced or budget for it if not. It's, apparently, an easy DIY fix.

At that age, expect some chassis rust. A common area is adjacent to the rear wheels at the lowest chassis point where the chassis forms a downward curve. It's a moisture trap for the chassis internals so have a good poke around there. It's easily plated if a problem but will be an MOT failure due to that normally being the chassis attachment point for the towbar.

I'd also budget for a full set of oil and filter changes. Again, it's a very easy DIY job but regular oil changes on a Defender make a big difference.

At that age, you may find that the intercooler could use removed and cleaned inside and out. It's a pretty easy DIY job and one worth doing. Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

Thanks for info. I'm going to offer £13000 and see what happens
