Our Verdict
This 2011 Land Rover Freelander presents
The single recorded failure in June 2024 was resolved the same day, which suggests the issues — headlamp aim and a split CV boot — were addressed promptly. Ask the seller for evidence of the CV boot replacement and check whether the driveshaft joint itself was inspected or replaced at the same time, as a boot left split for long can allow grit in and accelerate joint wear. The June 2025 advisory for a worn front brake disc is also worth following up: confirm whether the discs and pads have since been replaced, and factor this into negotiations if not.
Given the model's known trouble spots, request any service history covering suspension work, particularly ball joints, which rank among the Freelander's top MOT failure reasons across 146,216 vehicles analysed. A test drive should include listening for clicking on full lock (CV joints), knocking over bumps (suspension bushes and ball joints), and checking the four-wheel-drive system engages without noise or vibration. A pre-purchase inspection by a Land Rover specialist would be money well spent on a vehicle of this age.
As a 2.2-litre diesel, this Freelander should return reasonable fuel economy for a vehicle of its size and weight, though real-world figures will typically be well below the official claims for a car of this era. Annual VED will depend on its exact CO2 output, so check the V5C or the DVLA vehicle enquiry service before committing. Insurance costs for the Freelander tend to sit in the mid-range groups, though premiums will vary with driver profile and postcode.
Maintenance is the bigger consideration. The MOT history has already flagged wear items — brake discs and a CV boot — and the model's aggregate data shows ball joints, headlamps and tyres as the most common failure points, so budgeting for suspension and braking work is sensible. Parts availability for the Freelander remains good, and independent Land Rover specialists can keep costs below main-dealer rates.
Start with the areas this specific vehicle's history has highlighted. The nearside front CV boot was recorded as severely deteriorated in June 2024 — verify the repair was completed properly and check both inner and outer boots on all driveshafts for fresh splits or grease leakage. The front brake disc advisory from June 2025 warrants a look at disc thickness and lip wear, along with pad condition on both front corners.
Next, focus on the model's documented weak points. Ball joints are among the Freelander's top three MOT failure reasons, so have the front suspension checked for play on a ramp or with a pry bar, and listen for knocks over uneven surfaces. Headlamp aim caused this vehicle's only recorded failure, so confirm the lamps are correctly aligned and that the adjusters operate freely. Tyres are the third common failure area across the model — check tread depth, uneven wear patterns (which can indicate suspension or alignment issues) and matching brands across each axle.
Finally, given this is a diesel 4x4 of 14 years old, inspect for corrosion around the rear subframe and sills, check the exhaust system for blowing, and ensure the engine starts cleanly from cold without excessive smoke.
This white 2.2-litre diesel Freelander, first registered in November 2011, has covered 80,862 miles as of its most recent MOT in September 2026 — close to the model's average annual mileage of 6,638. Its MOT history shows one failure in June 2024 (headlamp aim and a severely deteriorated nearside front CV boot), which was rectified and passed the same day. The three subsequent tests, including the most recent in September 2026, have all passed with no defects recorded. While the record since mid-2024 is clean, buyers should note the model's average MOT pass rate of 78.3% and its common failure areas — headlamps, ball joints and tyres — when inspecting this example.
Across 146,216 Freelanders analysed, the average MOT pass rate stands at 78.3%, with headlamps, ball joints and tyres the most common failure reasons. This example's recent record sits comfortably above that average, though the model's known suspension wear points still warrant careful inspection.
