2011 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · EU11 TXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 131,089 miles without any recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement following a significant failure in April 2025. While the 2025 test revealed multiple failures across lighting, tyres, and braking, the subsequent passes in both 2025 and 2026 indicate that the previous owner addressed the immediate mechanical and safety defects required to meet DVSA standards. At 131,089 miles over fifteen years, the Freelander averages approximately 8,740 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation appears consistent, with intervals of roughly 7,500 miles recorded between April 2023 and April 2024, and another 7,500 miles between April 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests steady use rather than long periods of inactivity, which often helps keep seals lubricated and components from seizing. A buyer should focus on the braking system and suspension components during a physical inspection. The 2024 test flagged pitted and scored front brake discs, while the 2025 failure noted a parking brake efficiency of below 50 percent. Although these were supposedly rectified, the buyer must verify the current state of the pads and the pull of the handbrake. Given the age of the vehicle and the history of uneven tyre wear, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to ensure there is no developing play or structural corrosion.
