2011 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · AU11 OBV

The overall roadworthiness status is currently satisfactory, as the most recent MOT on 2025‑03‑21 passed with no defects recorded at 200,434 miles. However, a failure just one day earlier on 2025‑03‑20 revealed near‑side rear anti‑roll bar ball joint play and parking brake efficiency below 50%, indicating that the vehicle required remedial work before the pass; the subsequent successful test shows the issues were corrected, but the recurring suspension and brake findings suggest an ongoing trend of wear that must be monitored. The mileage pattern shows a high annual average of roughly 13,362 miles for a 15‑year‑old vehicle, with a notable acceleration in the last five years: from 125,142 miles in March 2020 to 200,434 miles in March 2025, an increase of 75,292 miles or about 15,058 miles per year. Earlier intervals displayed steadier growth, such as the 14,480‑mile jump from 2021 to 2022, but the recent rapid accumulation points to intensive use that aligns with the documented suspension and brake wear. A buyer should inspect the rear anti‑roll bar bushings and ball joints for excessive play, test the rear brake calipers and discs for binding, scoring or pitting, and verify the parking brake’s holding power and adjustment. Examination of all four tyres for tread depth, sidewall condition and even wear is essential, as is a check of suspension bushes, coil springs and the chassis for structural rust or damage, given the repeated faults highlighted in the MOT history.
