2009 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · D27 GCP

The 2009 Land Rover Freelander presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 28 January 2026 at 166,040 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 6 November 2024 at 159,924 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with minimum test standards over the past three years. Recorded mileage sits at 166,040 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 9,767 miles per annum. This aligns with typical use for the model. The record jumps from 136,182 miles on 5 October 2022 to 149,341 on 19 October 2023, then to 159,924 by November 2024, and 166,040 by January 2026. Annual accumulation stays near 10,000 to 12,000 miles with no abrupt spikes or dormant periods. The only anomaly is the 5 November 2024 failure at 159,924 miles with no defects listed, rectified by a pass one day later; this suggests an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical defect. Given the absence of flagged wear in suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, the MOT data alone implies reasonable upkeep by prior owners. A single non-defect failure with immediate reissue points to clerical handling, not skipped maintenance. The clean run from 2022 to 2026 shows no worsening pattern in emissions or structural integrity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of chassis outriggers, subframe mounts, and rear suspension arms for hidden rust, as Freelanders of this era suffer unseen corrosion absent from MOT lines. Verify brake caliper freedom and tyre sidewall condition despite no advisories. The low-defect history supports purchase confidence, but age and 166k miles warrant hands-on checks of drivetrain seals and steering joints.
