2004 Land Rover Freelander 2.0L Diesel · BC04 NPF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 9 March 2026 at 153,856 miles with no defects recorded. While the car failed its tests on 6 March 2026 and 26 February 2025, the immediate passes following those failures suggest a pattern of rapid rectification rather than chronic mechanical decline. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's 22-year age, averaging roughly 6,993 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 138,729 miles and the March 2026 test at 153,856 miles, the car covered 15,127 miles. This steady usage indicates the vehicle has remained in active service rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. The MOT history is unusually clean for a Freelander of this vintage, with no recorded advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear across the last three years. This lack of documented defects is atypical for a 2004 model with over 150,000 miles. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis and subframes for structural rust and check the condition of the coil springs and drivetrain mounts, as these common failure points are absent from the official record. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and timing belt intervals align with the mileage growth. Given the absence of flagged issues in the DVSA data, a manual check of the brake discs for pitting and the tyres for uneven wear will confirm if the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard or if the MOT tests were simply lenient.
