Our Verdict
Proceed with significant caution. The co
The primary concern for this vehicle is the chassis. You must have a professional mechanic inspect the sills and the rear sub-frame, as the MOT history shows these areas have been flagged for corrosion in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Ensure that the 'inner integral body structure' corrosion has not progressed to a point where it requires expensive welding or renders the vehicle unsafe.
Given the 185,794 miles on the clock, scrutinise the service history for evidence of timing belt changes and clutch replacements. Negotiate the price based on the inevitable cost of addressing the noted oil leak and the ongoing corrosion issues highlighted in the MOT records.
The 2179cc diesel engine provides the torque necessary for a 4x4, but fuel economy will be reflective of its age and high mileage. Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for a vehicle of this vintage, particularly as components reach the end of their natural lifespan.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, road tax based on the 2.2L engine emissions, and insurance. Given the high mileage and the specific advisories regarding the sub-frame and oil leaks, you should budget more than usual for annual repairs and preventative maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the underbody. Specifically, check the nearside and offside inner integral body structure (sills) and the rear sub-frame, both of which have appeared as advisories in multiple recent MOT tests. Use a torch to inspect these areas for flaking metal or deep rust.
Check the engine bay for signs of the oil leak mentioned in the February 2026 MOT. Additionally, check for any play in the nearside front steering rack inner joint, which was flagged in 2024, and inspect the current state of the brake discs to see if the pitting and wear noted in 2024 have been addressed.
This silver 2007 Diesel Freelander has covered 185,794 miles, which is substantially higher than the model average. While it has passed its most recent MOTs, the records reveal a persistent pattern of corrosion on the sills and rear sub-frame dating back to 2024. The most recent test in February 2026 also noted an oil leak.
The Freelander has an average MOT pass rate of 78.5%, with common failures typically involving parking brake efficiency and tyre wear.
