2010 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · DG60 AAJ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 27 January 2026 at 112 965 miles, carrying only two advisories: the offside track‑rod end ball joint exhibits slight play and its dust cover is damaged though it still prevents dirt ingress. After a failure in June 2018 for parking‑brake efficiency and several earlier brake‑pad and tyre advisories, the latest test shows only minor suspension and joint wear, indicating the maintenance trend has stabilised and is improving rather than deteriorating. Mileage accumulation has been steady over the car’s 16‑year life, averaging roughly 7 060 miles per year. The recorded figures rise from 35 681 miles in 2013 to 112 965 miles in 2026, with each annual MOT showing a consistent increase of 3 000–4 000 miles, suggesting regular use and no prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the offside track‑rod end ball joint for excess play and verify the dust cover’s integrity, examine the front wishbone arm bushes for perishing, and test the parking‑brake efficiency and rear service‑brake for binding. Brake pads should be checked for thin wear, especially on the rear and front axles, and the tyre condition must be assessed for inner‑edge wear, sidewall perishing and outer‑wall cracking on all four tyres. The presence of fitted outer‑sill covers and under‑trays means the underside should be examined for corrosion, and any hidden components should be inspected after removal of those accessories. Overall, the car remains roadworthy, but the combination of suspension joint play, brake‑system advisories and extensive tyre wear means a thorough pre‑purchase inspection of those systems and the vehicle’s underbody is essential before acquisition.
