2004 LAND ROVER FREELANDER2.0L Diesel

The 2022‑09‑15 MOT at 203,694 miles records a pass, but the accumulated pattern of recurring faults indicates a deteriorating condition rather than improvement. Failures in 2021 and earlier repeatedly cite brake‑pipe corrosion, a missing prop‑shaft, and suspension wear, showing that the vehicle has not been remedied and that the underlying issues persist. The mileage rose from 121,305 at the 2015 test to 203,694 in September 2022, averaging roughly 9,300 miles per year. Each annual test shows a modest increase, with no long idle periods recorded, confirming regular use and a steady accumulation of wear. A prospective buyer must verify the condition of the rear brake pipes for internal corrosion, examine the front anti‑roll bar linkages and ball joints for excessive play, and assess tyre tread depth and edge wear, which have repeatedly approached the legal limit. The absence of a prop‑shaft, frequent oil leaks, and intermittent exhaust‑emission failures also merit close scrutiny. Consequently, a detailed mechanical inspection focusing on these components will reveal whether the listed defects have been addressed or remain active, providing the only reliable basis for judging the vehicle’s true roadworthiness.
