2002 Land Rover Freelander 2.0L Diesel · FND 581

The Land Rover Freelander presents as roadworthy following the September 2025 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded on 11 September 2025 at 109,775 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes from 2022 through 2025 and no advisories or mechanical faults logged by testers at any stage. The recorded mileage sits at 109,775 miles against a 2002 build date, equating to roughly 4,574 miles per year and marking this as a low-use example for its age. Annual increments stayed tightly controlled: the vehicle ran 104,591 miles at the 1 September 2022 test, 106,089 by 30 August 2023, 108,014 by 19 August 2024, and 109,775 by the September 2025 retests. The single anomaly is the 7 September 2025 failure at identical mileage to the subsequent pass, with no defects cited in either entry, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural corrosion points common to this chassis age, particularly chassis rails, subframe mounts, and suspension mounting faces, given the vehicle's 24-year lifespan. The clean MOT record means no recurring brake, suspension bush, or exhaust emission concerns are evidenced, but standing periods implied by low annual mileage can conceal perished rubber components, seized calipers, or moisture-related degradation not captured in a pass result. Verify the VIN and test documentation for the September 2025 fail-pass pair to confirm no suppressed defect, and commission an independent underside survey before purchase given the age and low-use profile.
