2006 Land Rover Freelander 2.0L Diesel · AG55 FOX

The Land Rover Freelander presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 15 July 2025 at 122,997 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the test history shows a recurring pattern of immediate pass-fail-repass cycles that warrants scrutiny rather than reassurance. The recorded mileage of 122,997 against a 2006 build equates to circa 6,150 miles per annum, a typical usage rate for this model's age. Between the 8 March 2023 test at 113,953 miles and the 24 June 2024 failure at 116,219 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,266 miles in fifteen months, implying a period of limited use. A sharp anomaly appears in early July 2025: the car failed on 7 July at 122,995 miles then passed eight days later at 122,997 miles, a two-mile discrepancy that suggests a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical defect, as no faults were listed on either certificate. The DVSA record flags no advisories across any test, which is unusual for a 20-year-old Freelander and may indicate superficial testing or omitted commentary on wear items. Buyers should physically inspect front suspension bushes, rear coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as these are common structural weaknesses on the marque by this mileage and would not show in a clean pass sheet. Given the twin failure-pass pairs in June 2024 and July 2025 with zero recorded defects, verify the failure reasons with DVSA directly before purchase. The low annual mileage and standing periods increase risk of seized brake calipers and perished rubber components despite the absent advisory list.
