2009 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · AF59 XGR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness certificate, but the history reveals a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. While it passed its latest test in January 2026 at 176,206 miles, this followed a failure just ten days prior. The trend shows a cycle of addressing faults only when necessitated by the MOT tester, evidenced by the immediate rectification of multiple lighting, securing, and minor mechanical failures. This pattern suggests the owner performs only the minimum legal requirements to keep the vehicle on the road. At 17 years old, the 176,206 miles represent a consistent usage pattern of approximately 10,000 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There is a significant gap in data between December 2023 and January 2025, where the vehicle covered over 15,000 miles in 13 months. This surge in mileage, followed by another 15,000 miles in the subsequent year, places considerable strain on the aging drivetrain and suspension components of a high-mileage Freelander. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The 2023 record flagged a worn offside front suspension arm bush, and the 2025 failure revealed thin brake pads on the nearside. More critically, the January 2025 failure for missing road wheel fixings on all four wheels is a major red flag regarding basic safety standards. The buyer should also inspect the offside rear bodywork and the mirror assembly, which were flagged as being sharp and insecure, to ensure the structural repairs are sound and the components are not vibrating loose.
