2012 LAND ROVER FREELANDER2.2L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history suggests a pattern of reactive maintenance. The most recent test conducted in September 2024 at 160,746 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, just two days after an initial failure. This indicates that the current owner is willing to rectify immediate faults to maintain compliance, yet the lack of recorded advisories across several years suggests a potential lack of proactive monitoring regarding deteriorating components. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. Between August 2022 and September 2023, the vehicle covered 15,532 miles, while the interval between September 2023 and September 2024 saw 11,870 miles. This steady usage suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of the drivetrain, braking system, and rubber components despite the 160,000-mile mark. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system and underbody, as these are common points of failure on high-mileage Freelanders. While the record shows no recurring structural corrosion, the intermittent failures in 2022 and 2024 imply that components are frequently reaching the end of their service life. Inspect for excessive play in the control arm bushes, leaks from the shock absorbers, and signs of thinning on the exhaust system, as these often trigger MOT failures once they become visible to a tester.
