2013 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · LY13 ACX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent history of passes over the last decade. The most recent test in June 2026 at 123,521 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor failure regarding a non-obligatory central upper stop lamp. Prior to this, the vehicle achieved clean passes between 2021 and 2025 with no recorded defects or advisories, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the mechanical condition and responded to testing requirements promptly. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old Land, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Data from 34,281 miles in 2016 to the current 123,521 miles in 2026 shows steady usage rather than long periods of neglect or sudden high-intensity wear. The only anomaly occurred in June 2020 at 82,201 miles, where the diesel smoke monitoring system failed to register a reading. This failure often indicates a sensor fault or wiring issue rather than a catastrophic engine failure, especially since subsequent tests showed no regressions. Given the lack of recorded advisories for structural rust, suspension wear, or brake components in the history, a buyer should still focus on common Land Rover specific failure points that an MOT does not always catch. Inspect the front control arm bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these frequently degrade with age regardless of mileage. While the MOT record is clean, a physical check of the brake calipers for binding and an inspection of the subframe for hidden corrosion are essential before purchase, as these areas are typically the first items to fail on a Freelander of this era.
