2002 Land Rover Freelander 2.0L Diesel · FJ52 UUY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record currently shows a significant lapse in compliance. The most recent test on 29 November 2021 at 170,223 miles passed with no recorded defects, yet the vehicle has not undergone an MOT in over four years since. Given the current date of June 2026, the test certificate is long expired. This gap suggests the vehicle has either sat stationary for extended periods or the owner has neglected the legal roadworthiness testing requirements. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between August 2019 and November 2021, the car covered 12,544 miles, indicating moderate use during that period. The recorded failures in November 2020 at 162,629 miles and November 2021 at 170,223 miles followed by immediate passes suggest the previous owner was willing to rectify issues to maintain legality, though the lack of data since the last successful test masks the current mechanical condition. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to account for the four years of undocumented use. Land Rover Freelanders of this era are prone to structural corrosion in the rear arches, sills, and suspension mounting points which should be checked for deep rot. Because the vehicle has likely sat, the buyer should specifically inspect for perished rubber bushes, cracked hoses, and seized brake calipers. The braking system requires close attention for fluid leaks and rusted discs to ensure the components have not seized off during the long interval between tests.
