2010 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · SK60 BCU

The Land Rover Freelander passed its most recent MOT on 26 May 2026 at 85,172 miles and remains roadworthy. The maintenance trend is resolving after a severe suspension failure in June 2025. In that May 2026 test the examiner noted front brake discs worn pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, a minor consumable issue. The vehicle had failed on 2 June 2025 at 84,143 miles with both front coil springs fractured, but the owner secured a clean pass on 12 June 2025 at 84,267 miles after replacement. This swift rectification shows responsible handling of critical structural faults. Mileage sits low for a 2010 model, averaging near 5,300 miles per year across the records. The July 2023 test recorded 80,121 miles. By July 2024 the reading was 82,000 miles with only an offside rear parking brake effort just within limits at 18 percent. The period to June 2025 added roughly 2,143 miles ahead of the spring failure. Such light use suggests extended standing, which likely contributed to coil spring fatigue. No rapid accumulation or skipped intervals appear in the sparse but largely clean history. A buyer should inspect the front brake discs for scoring depth and measure thickness, given the 2026 advisory. The 2024 marginal rear parking brake demands checking the offside rear caliper and handbrake cables for binding or imbalance. Although new front springs were fitted before June 2025, examine strut top mounts and suspension bushes for collateral wear. Low mileage and periods of storage raise risk of underside corrosion, so assess structural integrity around subframe and spring seats. Tyres and wiper blades escaped advisories, implying basic consumables were kept in order. The pattern indicates an owner who corrected major mechanical defects promptly but left minor brake disc wear unaddressed. Verify all four tyres tread and confirm emissions during any viewing. Overall the Freelander presents as structurally sound but requires monitoring of braking components and suspension condition.
