2010 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · DA10 KFU

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 4 February 2026 at 169,096 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in December 2024 and July 2023 also closed as passes with no advisories, indicating the Freelander has not accumulated outstanding mechanical or structural concerns across its recent examination history. Mileage progression sits broadly in line with typical use for a 2010 vehicle, rising from 143,143 miles at the July 2023 test to 158,899 miles by 3 December 2024, then to 169,096 miles by February 2026. That equates to roughly 10,500 miles per year, a moderate load for a diesel SUV of this era. The record shows two failed tests on 2 December 2024 and 5 July 2023, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes logged the next day, with no defects cited; this pattern implies administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults requiring rectification. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's sixteen-year age and 169,000-mile accumulation. The clean MOT ledger offers no advisories on brake discs, calipers, or exhaust emissions, yet high-mileage Land Rovers commonly develop worn steering joints and rear chassis rust unseen in a basic test. Verify the V5C and service history to confirm the December 2023 and July 2023 fail-pass pairs reflect retests rather than omitted work. The absence of recorded defects suggests previous owners maintained basic compliance, but physical checks of drivetrain seals and underbody integrity remain prudent before purchase.
