Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the high mileage, despite a relatively clean recent MOT history. While the vehicle has passed several consecutive tests, the mileage is significantly higher than the model average.
Given the high mileage of 167,853 miles, your primary focus should be on the mechanical integrity of the 2179cc diesel engine and the 4x4 drivetrain. Since MOT records do not confirm service history, you should request physical evidence of regular oil changes and timing belt replacements, which are critical for this engine type.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the fact that this vehicle has been driven much more extensively than the average Freelander in our database. Check for any signs of fluid leaks under the engine and ensure the turbocharger operates smoothly, as high-mileage diesel units can show wear in these areas.
Running costs for this 2.2L diesel Freelander will be influenced by its age and high mileage. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a diesel SUV of this era, though actual figures will depend on maintenance.
Tax and insurance will vary based on the specific insurance group and local council rates, but as a 2008 model, it should fall into a standard bracket. Maintenance costs may increase due to the mileage, with potential requirements for suspension components or exhaust repairs as the vehicle continues to age.
When inspecting this specific vehicle, pay close attention to the underside for signs of corrosion, which is noted as a top failure reason for this model in our aggregate data. Check the anti-roll bars and suspension bushings, as these are also common failure points for the Freelander.
Additionally, verify the condition of the headlamps to ensure they meet brightness standards, as headlamp failures are a frequent issue for this model. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs and pads, as well as the condition of the tyres, is essential to ensure they have sufficient life remaining.
This 2008 Blue Land Rover Freelander features a 2.2L diesel engine and has covered 167,853 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. While the MOT history shows a string of passes since 2022, the mileage is substantially above the aggregate model average of 6,574 miles per year. The vehicle's recent history includes a failed test in November 2025 that was immediately rectified to a pass on the same day.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 76.9%, with common failures involving headlamps, corrosion, and anti-roll bars.
