2007 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · AV07 NBB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean record over the last three years. Following a failure in November 2021, the Freelander has passed three consecutive tests without a single recorded defect or advisory item. The most recent inspection conducted on November 28, 2024 at 212,820 miles confirms that the vehicle currently meets all statutory safety and emission standards despite its high mileage. The recorded mileage of 212,820 miles reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 11,200 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a nineteen-year-old vehicle. The data shows regular intervals between tests, notably the 15,421 miles driven between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 6,665 miles between November 2022 and December 2023. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods, which often prevents seal degradation and internal corrosion. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components common to this model. A buyer should specifically scrutinise the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often fail without triggering an MOT advisory. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, checking the integrity of the chassis and subframe for deep-seated corrosion is critical, as the MOT test only identifies structural rust once it reaches a threshold. Additionally, monitoring for binding brake calipers or uneven wear on the discs will ensure the braking system remains effective beyond the lack of recorded faults.
