Our Verdict
This Freelander presents a remarkably consistent MOT record over the last five years. It is a strong candidate for those prioritising a vehicle with a recent history of clean test passes.
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a thorough inspection of the underside, as corrosion is a common failure point for this model. Given the age of the vehicle, ensure that the service history is present to corroborate the MOT data, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt changes and fluid maintenance.
Negotiate based on the current market value for a 2006 diesel Freelander. While the MOT record is clean, the vehicle is now 20 years old, so budget for potential age-related wear on rubber bushes and suspension components that may not be captured in an annual test.
The 1951cc diesel engine will incur annual VED costs typical of a pre-2006/2007 emissions bracket vehicle. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style and the condition of the turbocharger and fuel injection system.
Insurance groups for this model are generally mid-range, but premiums will vary based on your personal profile. Annual maintenance costs should include a contingency fund for parts, as Land Rover components can be more expensive than those for equivalent mass-market SUVs.
While the recent MOT history shows no defects, you should specifically check the ball joints and brake pipes, as these are the most frequent failure points for the Freelander model. Ensure the steering feels precise and there is no excessive play, which could indicate worn steering rack components.
Inspect the bodywork for signs of rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, as the silver paint may hide early-stage corrosion. Check that all electrical features, including the central locking and windows, are fully operational, as these are common areas for minor faults in older Land Rover vehicles.
Registered in March 2006, this silver Land Rover Freelander has covered 96,505 miles. The MOT history is notable for five consecutive clean passes between 2022 and 2026, with no advisories or failures recorded during this period. This performance is well above the model's average MOT pass rate of 78.3%.
The Freelander typically faces challenges with suspension and structural integrity, making this vehicle's clean five-year MOT record a notable outlier compared to the model's aggregate failure data.
