2007 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · D4 XEM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 February 2026 at 103,557 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful retests. In both 2025 and 2026, the vehicle failed the initial test just days before the scheduled appointment but passed upon the subsequent inspection. This suggests that the owner addresses mechanical or safety faults only when required to pass the legal test, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance between the annual testing cycles. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 103,557 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,450 miles. This low usage often results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, but it also carries risks associated with the vehicle standing for long periods. The data shows significant gaps in mileage accumulation; between February 2024 and February 2026, the vehicle covered only 6,121 miles over a two-year period. Such low-frequency use can lead to degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and perished seals, as well as potential corrosion on brake discs and calipers from lack of regular use. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and subframe for structural rust, as older Land Rover models are prone to corrosion that may be hidden. Given the low mileage, the inspector must check for perished suspension wish arms and leaking shock absorbers which fail due to age rather than distance. The record does not list specific recurring advisories, but the history of recent failures indicates that components like the lighting system, exhaust, or brakes are frequently at the limit of their operational life and require close scrutiny.
