2008 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · DA08 ERK

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 286,948 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of passes since September 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the supplied record, indicating the tester found no immediate concerns at each examination. Mileage stands at 286,948 on an 18-year-old Freelander, averaging roughly 15,942 miles per year, which is high for the age and points to sustained use rather than long periods standing. The record shows 271,020 miles on 2 September 2022, rising to 275,223 by 22 September 2023, then 278,328 on 10 October 2024 and 286,948 on 8 October 2025. Annual accumulation slowed to around 3,000 to 8,600 miles in recent years, well below the lifetime average. The only anomaly is a fail on 21 September 2023 at 275,223 miles with no defects listed, reversed by a pass the next day, suggesting an administrative or procedural hitch rather than a mechanical defect. Given the absence of flagged faults, the MOT history implies previous owners kept basic statutory compliance current, though a clean sheet at this mileage does not confirm underlying condition. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for wear consistent with 286,948 miles of use. Structural integrity around chassis and subframe should be checked for corrosion, as high-mileage Land Rovers of this era commonly develop rust hidden from a visual MOT pass. Exhaust emissions and drivetrain mounts warrant a hands-on check given the age and accumulated mileage. The 2023 same-mileage fail-with-no-defect warrants confirmation the V5C and DVSA entry reflect a genuine clear history before purchase.
