2006 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · KD56 FZX

The vehicle is currently in non-roadworthy condition, with the most recent MOT test on 2022-08-24 failing to pass at 127,667 miles. This indicates a significant deterioration in mechanical integrity, particularly concerning the suspension and braking systems which are central to roadworthiness. The 2022-04-01 test on 127,664 miles also failed, confirming that the vehicle has not been maintained in a safe state since the 2022 test. The failure in the September 2023 test at 52,000 miles suggests that the previous owner had a history of poor maintenance, likely due to the vehicle's age and the nature of its usage. The mileage pattern reveals a clear gap in the vehicle's history, with the most recent test occurring at 127,667 miles. This corresponds to roughly 6,383 miles per year, which is consistent with the vehicle's age of approximately 20 years. The rapid accumulation of miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests indicates that the owner had no opportunity to perform routine maintenance or address wear and tear during the period of inactivity. The sparse mileage data suggests that the vehicle was not used for regular driving, which would normally result in a more consistent wear pattern and lower mileage accumulation. Given the recurring faults such as corrosion on the front and rear subframe, a serious fluid leak in rear shock absorbers, and worn brake discs, the vehicle requires immediate inspection in a professional workshop. The structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components is compromised, and the brake system is in a state of disrepair that risks failure under normal driving conditions. A buyer must be prepared to visit the vehicle to assess the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as well as the structural integrity of the underbody and the condition of the brake fluids.
