2004 Land Rover Freelander 2.0L Diesel · FP54 ASX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 2 July 2025 resulted in a pass at 183,057 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is typical for a 22 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,321 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 173,009 miles and the July 2025 test at 183,057 miles, the car covered 10,048 miles. This steady usage indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The absence of advisories or failures across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a Freelander of this vintage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion. These models are prone to structural rust that may not always be flagged if the vehicle has undergone recent remedial work or cleaning. Priority should be given to checking the condition of the drivetrain and suspension bushes during a physical inspection. Given the 183,057 mile odometer reading, wear on the clutch and differential is expected regardless of the clean MOT history. Verify the service intervals for the timing belt and water pump, as these critical components are not checked during a standard MOT test.
