2006 Land Rover Freelander 2.0L Diesel · DA06 WBU

The Land Rover Freelander presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, with a clean pass recorded on 19 February 2025 at 46,603 miles showing no defects or advisories. The maintenance trend is stable across the available record, with every test from 1 December 2021 through to the 2025 examination returning a pass and no faults logged. A failed entry on 19 February 2025 at the same mileage sits directly alongside the pass on the same day, with no defects cited, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The odometer traces a low-use pattern consistent with the vehicle's twenty-year age. In the 1 December 2021 test the Freelander showed 40,319 miles; by 6 December 2022 it had added only 325 miles to reach 40,644. The 14 June 2024 examination recorded 40,926 miles, a mere 282 miles further, before the 19 February 2025 test jumped to 46,603 miles, an increase of 5,677 miles in roughly eight months. Annual averages sit near 2,330 miles. Such low totals suggest extended standing periods, which raise the risk of perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, and corrosion on unused structures despite the clean MOT slate. The absence of any advisories across five years means the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, cracked coil springs, or structural rust at the tested dates. A buyer should still inspect underneath for chassis corrosion and check the rear subframe, a known Freelander weak point not always visible in a lift-free test. Verify brake disc condition and suspension arm condition given the long idle stretches before the 2024 to 2025 mileage rise. Confirm the 19 February 2025 failure cause with DVSA, as the no-defect record is atypical for a rejected test. Given the low mileage and clean history, the vehicle likely received light but sufficient upkeep, though the same-day fail and pass warrants documentary clarity before purchase.
