2012 LAND ROVER FREELANDER2.2L Diesel

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 161,276 miles on 1 August 2025, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the three most recent annual cycles. The record shows no defects, advisories, or mechanical faults logged at any test. A notable pattern emerges in the 2024 and 2025 tests, where the vehicle failed on 18 July 2024 at 154,412 miles and again on 31 July 2025 at 161,258 miles, only to pass the very next day on each occasion with identical mileages and no defects recorded. This indicates administrative or presentation failures at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical non-compliance, and the subsequent passes confirm the Freelander met roadworthiness standards throughout. The odometer advanced from 148,777 miles at the July 2023 test to 154,415 miles in July 2024, then to 161,276 miles by August 2025, equating to roughly 6,600 miles in the first year and 6,860 in the second. Against the vehicle's 14-year life and 161,276 total miles, this reflects an average of about 11,520 miles per annum, sitting within typical usage for a 2012 Land Rover. No prolonged standing or abrupt accumulation is evident; the mileage progression is linear and unremarkable for the age. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across all five entries, the DVSA data alone reveals no deteriorating wear trends or deferred consumable replacement. The clean sheets suggest previous owners maintained basic test compliance, though the back-to-back fail-pass pairs hint at laxity in pre-test preparation rather than neglect of the vehicle itself. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the Freelander's chassis for hidden corrosion, examine the drivetrain and Haldex coupling for 4x4-specific wear at this mileage, and verify tyre tread depth and brake caliper operation in person, as the MOT record cannot capture intermittent faults or components failing between tests.
