LAND ROVER FREELANDER2009 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from a clean record to emerging mechanical concerns. While the car passed its previous four tests between 2021 and 2024 without any defects, the most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 77,308 miles introduced significant advisories. This indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where deferred maintenance may require immediate attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between December 2023 and November 2025, the car covered only 6,077 miles, suggesting consistent low-intensity use. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often accelerates the degradation of rubber-based components and promotes corrosion due to lack of regular use. The gap between tests remains consistent, but the low usage likely explains the rust issues noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension assembly. The November 2025 advisory flagged heavy rust that may weaken the integrity of the components, which poses a structural risk that could lead to a failure in the near future. Additionally, the front tyres require immediate replacement as the reported smooth wear on the inside edge indicates a significant alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that need to be addressed to prevent further damage to new rubber.
