2010 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · 43 FOR

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-16 at 181,563 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, a prior failure on 2025-08-11 at 181,541 miles—just five days earlier—suggests potential inconsistency in compliance, though no defects were noted in either test. The absence of recorded issues in the latest assessment implies the car meets current roadworthiness standards, but the proximity of the failure and pass raises questions about whether minor faults were rectified or if the failure was a procedural anomaly. The vehicle’s mileage of 181,563 miles over 16 years aligns with an average of 11,348 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with the most recent tests in 2025 following a 2024-08-16 pass at 178,350 miles. A notable gap between 2023-08-18 (173,750 miles) and 2024-08-16 (178,350 miles) indicates a 4,600-mile increase over 12 months, which is consistent with normal wear. However, the 2025-08-11 failure at 181,541 miles, just 22 miles before the subsequent pass, suggests minimal usage in that period, potentially due to storage or infrequent operation. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of recorded brake or exhaust defects in recent tests is reassuring, but the 2023-08-12 failure at 173,567 miles—despite no defects noted—warrants scrutiny of the braking system and exhaust emissions. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as corrosion or rust is common in older Land Rovers. Regular MOT compliance, despite the 2025-08-11 failure, indicates proactive maintenance, though physical inspection is essential to confirm the car’s mechanical and body condition.
