LAND ROVER FREELANDER2014 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in March 2026 at 79,972 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as recurring mechanical failures regarding steering components and lighting alignment have been addressed. While the most recent test resulted in a failure due to low headlamp aim, the subsequent pass without any recorded advisories or deffect indicates that the current owner is willing to rectify safety-critical faults once identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between the July 2024 test at 71,513 miles and the March 2025 test at 73,630 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,117 miles, suggesting a period of low usage. This low annual mileage often reduces mechanical wear on drivetrain components, but it can lead to the perishing of rubber elements like the rear tyres noted in the 2024 record. A buyer must focus on the front steering and suspension assembly given the recurring issues with the track rod ends. These components were flagged for slight play in 2024 and progressed to excessive play by March 2025, necessitating replacement. The inspector should also verify the underside steering and suspension items for the corrosion mentioned in the 2024 advisory to ensure structural integrity. Because the front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in 2024, a thickness check is required to ensure they were replaced or have not worn beyond the minimum limit.
