2009 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · BL53 OMS

This vehicle has not had a recorded MOT since December 2022, meaning it is currently overdue and its legal roadworthiness is unknown. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of poor tyre maintenance and alignment issues. Across multiple years, there are repeated failures and advisories for tyres worn to the legal limit or bald on the inner edges, suggesting a chronic neglect of tyre pressures or a persistent suspension alignment problem. The overall condition trend appears to be worsening. While earlier tests were cleaner, more recent entries show a transition from simple bulb failures to more systemic issues, including an oil leak and missing bodywork (door step). The mileage of 156,590 miles is typical for a 17-year-old vehicle. This suggests consistent use, meaning the drivetrain and suspension components have seen a normal amount of wear and tear for its age, rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. A buyer must first verify the current MOT status. In person, prioritise a thorough inspection of all four tyres for uneven wear and check for active oil leaks. Given the history of inner-edge wear, the front-end alignment and suspension bushings should be closely examined.
