2012 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · HU60 SLY

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness status, showing a stable to improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2025 at 93,671 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previously identified concerns have been addressed. This transition from minor advisories in 2023 to a clean sheet suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying mechanical issues flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 6,700 miles per annum. This low-use profile often leads to age-related degradation rather than high-mile wear. Between August 2024 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 13,486 miles, representing a recent spike in usage. A notable gap in records exists between July 2021 and March 2023, where only 10,117 miles were recorded over twenty months, which may contribute to the perishing of rubber components seen previously. A physical inspection should focus on the underside surface corrosion noted during the August 2023 test at 71,857 miles. While the vehicle passed since without advisories, structural integrity on Freelander models requires close monitoring for rust bloom on mounting points. The buyer should also verify that the power steering hose seepage identified at the HP pump was fully replaced or sealed, as persistent leaks can lead to premature steering pump failure. Given the history of tyre perishing in 2021, a thorough check of the sidewalls for dry rot is necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked aging rubber compounds.
