2008 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · CX08 UCB

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass recorded on 10 July 2025 at 158,019 miles, with no defects noted. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, though the immediate prior test on 3 July 2025 at the same mileage returned a fail with no defects recorded, a pattern that suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Across the available history the vehicle cleared every other annual test without advisories, indicating no escalating wear trend across the sampled period. The odometer shows 158,019 miles against an 18-year life, averaging roughly 8,779 miles per year which is typical for a Freelander of this age. The record jumps from 137,597 miles at the July 2021 test to 138,584 miles by August 2022, then to 146,880 miles in July 2023 and 158,019 miles by July 2025, giving low annual use of under 1,000 miles in the early span and a later rise to around 11,000 miles per year. A four-year gap separates the 2021 and 2025 entries from any earlier data, so the pre-2021 condition remains unverified by this record. The clean MOT lineage with zero advisories means the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brake discs, or exhaust issues at the cited dates. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the chassis outriggers and subframe, as Freelanders of this era commonly suffer hidden rust despite passing emissions and lighting checks. The twin July 2025 tests at identical mileage warrant confirmation that the July failure was purely procedural and that the V5 and test certificate match the final pass. Given the sparse history and zero flagged components, previous ownership appears to have kept the vehicle to a basic pass standard without deferred consumable neglect showing in the official data. The low early mileage followed by recent accumulation implies the car stood lightly used then entered regular service; suspension and drivetrain joints should be assessed for deterioration from standing as much as from distance covered.
