2004 Land Rover Freelander 2.0L Diesel · IBZ 122

The Land Rover Freelander presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 9 May 2025 at 92,278 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in May 2024 and May 2023 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failure on 13 May 2024 at 92,115 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at that test rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle has remained structurally and mechanically sound across its recorded history. At roughly 22 years old, the Freelander shows 92,278 miles, an average of about 4,194 miles per year. The odometer crept from 89,500 miles in April 2022 to 92,278 by May 2025, a gain of only 2,778 miles across three years. Such low annual use suggests extended periods of standing, which on a 2004 Land Rover typically risks perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and corrosion rather than drivetrain fatigue. The sparse, clean record gives little detail but implies light use by a cautious owner. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-mileage dormancy pattern. Standing vehicles often develop binding calipers and flat-spotted tyres unnoticed by MOT testers if within limits. The 2024 failure with no defects recorded warrants confirming the VOSA reason, though it did not recur. Check underneath for structural rust on chassis members and subframes, as Freelanders of this era suffer from corrosion where moisture traps form. Verify exhaust emissions and drivetrain oils reflect the gentle mileage. The history shows no recurring advisories, so current condition likely matches the clean passes if storage was dry.
