2010 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · CE10 VHW

The 2026-06-17 test at 135,392 miles was a PASSED MOT, confirming that the vehicle's mechanical health remains sound at this point in the year. However, the maintenance history reveals a clear deterioration trend: the vehicle failed twice on the rear suspension mountings area in 2023 and 2024, indicating that basic upkeep was significantly skipped between 2022 and 2023. While the 2025-06-14 test passed, the subsequent failures suggest that the wear on suspension bushings and springs has accelerated since the previous year, pointing to an ongoing structural risk that requires immediate attention. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of miles, averaging approximately 8,462 miles per year, which is consistent with its 16-year age but raises concerns about the longevity of specific components. The most significant gap in the record is the absence of a 2022-03-15 test, which is crucial for assessing the condition of brake components, suspension, and drivetrain parts. Without this test, the buyer cannot confidently determine whether the brake lever pivot or other brake components have degraded sufficiently to warrant a full brake inspection. To assess roadworthiness, the buyer must inspect the rear suspension bushings and springs for corrosion and excessive movement, as well as the front tyre wear on both edges and the brake disc condition, given the history of two failed rear suspension tests. A buyer should also verify the binding calipers and brake lever pivot tightness, as the lack of a 2022-03-15 test means these components cannot be reliably evaluated. If the buyer can confirm that the brake system is still within acceptable limits and the suspension is free of excessive wear, the vehicle may be roadworthy, but the history of two failed rear suspension tests warrants a more rigorous inspection to rule out hidden structural issues.
