2004 Land Rover Freelander 2.0L Diesel · GU04 KGV

The Land Rover Freelander presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by three consecutive passes with no defects recorded. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 114,146 miles returned a clean result, following passes on 29 March 2023 at 112,487 miles and 21 March 2022 at 108,597 miles. No advisories or failures appear across this period, indicating the vehicle has met statutory standards without flagged wear or corrosion at each examination. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2004 vehicle at roughly 5,188 miles per year. Between the March 2022 and March 2023 tests the car covered only 3,890 miles, then just 1,659 miles to September 2025. This slow accumulation points to light use or extended standing periods. A two-and-a-half-year gap separates the 2023 and 2025 tests, which is unusual but lawful given prior validity; the sparse record shows no rapid wear cycles or neglect signals in the data itself. A clean MOT history gives no tester-raised concerns on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity. The buyer should still inspect for hidden corrosion on chassis outriggers and subframe, as Freelanders of this era suffer rust where moisture collects. Check the VCU and IRD drivetrain units for whine or binding, since these fail without MOT detection. Verify underseal condition given the low mileage and likely dormant storage. Tyres and wiper blades show no advisories but age-cracking is plausible after standing. The record implies a careful keeper who avoided consumable neglect, yet the long gaps mean a physical inspection must confirm fluid condition and brake caliper freedom before purchase.
