LAND ROVER FREELANDER2012 · 2.2L Diesel

The 2012 Land Rover Freelander exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-16 at 161,299 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024-03-14, 2023-02-28, and 2022-03-22 also passed, though a failed test on 2023-02-22 at 147,193 miles showed no defects. This suggests the vehicle has maintained compliance with safety standards, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues identified. The absence of advisories or critical failures in recent years indicates consistent upkeep, though the 2023 failed test warrants scrutiny for potential administrative errors or minor non-compliances not flagged in the record. The vehicle’s mileage of 161,299 miles over 14 years aligns with an average of 11,521 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. MOT tests are spaced approximately one year apart, with no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes. The 2023-02-22 failed test occurred just six days before a subsequent pass, implying a rapid retest likely addressing a minor issue. No evidence of excessive wear on consumables or drivetrain components is present in the record, though the absence of detailed defect descriptions limits insight into specific maintenance practices. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common in older Land Rovers, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and underbody should be examined for rust, particularly in areas prone to road salt exposure. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the integrity of structural components and identify any hidden issues not captured in the recorded tests.
