2006 Land Rover Freelander 2.0L Diesel · CY06 EKE

The 2006 Land Rover Freelander presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent pass on 6 January 2026 at 168,368 miles with no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared its prior test on 15 January 2025 at 167,967 miles, also with no advisories, indicating the current owner has kept the car to a clean standard across the latest two examinations. Recorded mileage sits at 168,368 against a 20-year lifespan, an average of roughly 8,400 miles per year and typical for the model age. The gap between the December 2023 pass at 166,898 miles and the January 2025 pass at 167,967 miles shows only 1,069 miles covered in just over twelve months, implying a period of very light use. The sparse record shows two failed tests on consecutive days in December 2023 and January 2025, both at near-identical mileages, yet the DVSA data lists no defects against either failure, which suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion, as Freelanders of this era commonly suffer chassis rot around the rear subframe and suspension mounts. The absence of advisories across the recent passes does not exempt the car from age-related wear on coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the 168,000-mile accumulation. Verify the two anomaly failures with the test centres if documentation is available, and confirm the vehicle has not been laid up for extended periods that could mask binding calipers or perished rubber components. The clean trailing record is encouraging, but at twenty years old the Freelander demands scrutiny of drivetrain seals and exhaust emissions hardware before purchase.
