Our Verdict
A reasonable option for those seeking a
When inspecting this 2.2L diesel Freelander, focus on the suspension and steering components. The 2024 MOT failure regarding a track rod end dust cover indicates that steering linkages are a known point of attention. You should also check the condition of the tyres and brake discs, as the 2023 MOT record highlighted wear on both front tyres and the front brake discs.
Request documentation regarding any recent work carried out following the 2024 failure to ensure the track rod end was properly addressed. Given the high mileage relative to the model average, check for any signs of fluid leaks or excessive vibration which could indicate wear in the drivetrain or engine mounts.
As a 2179cc diesel, this vehicle will be subject to specific tax bands and potential ULEZ/Clean Air Zone charges depending on its exact emissions rating. Fuel economy will vary based on driving style and load, but diesel engines of this era are generally designed for longer-distance efficiency.
Maintenance costs for Land Rover models can be higher than mainstream brands. Expect to budget for regular replacements of consumables like tyres and brakes, which have appeared in previous MOT records. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, sit in the mid-range for a diesel SUV of this age.
Pay close attention to the front suspension and steering assembly. The MOT history shows a failure in September 2024 for an insecure track rod end ball joint dust cover, so ensure the steering feels tight and free of play.
Inspect the braking system thoroughly. The 2023 MOT recorded worn front brake discs, so check for any scoring or uneven wear on the discs and pads. Additionally, check the tread depth and evenness of all four tyres, as previous tests have flagged tyres worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges.
This 2012 Land Rover Freelander, finished in Gold, has covered 115,618 miles as of its last MOT in September 2025. While it has experienced minor failures, such as a track rod end issue in 2024, its two most recent tests have been passed with no defects recorded. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,625 per year, reflecting a more intensive usage pattern.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.3% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including ball joints, brake pipes, and corrosion.
