2009 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · LB58 AVO

A consistent record of clean MOT certificates over the last seven years defines this vehicle's recent roadworthiness, following a more varied testing period in 2018. Since the 2018 test, which included minor defects and advisories regarding windscreen damage, brake disc condition, and suspension components, the vehicle has achieved consecutive passes with no recorded defects or advisories through to the most recent test on 03 December 2025. This trend indicates that the mechanical issues flagged previously have been addressed or have not recurred during subsequent inspections. The recorded mileage of 145,116 miles for a 2009 model represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 8,536 miles. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a consistent level of operation rather than extreme high-mileage usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this steady mileage profile implies that wear on consumables such as braking systems, suspension bushes, and drivetrain components has likely progressed at a predictable rate, rather than being subject to the accelerated degradation often seen in high-intensity commercial use or the stagnation-related issues associated with very low mileage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the areas previously highlighted in the 2018 record to ensure the integrity of the braking and suspension systems. Although no advisories are currently listed, the prior mention of pitted or scored brake discs on both the nearside and offside front wheels warrants a close examination of the braking performance. During a test drive, pay particular attention to any pedal judder or vibration through the footwell when applying brakes at varying speeds, which could indicate uneven disc wear or warping. The previous advisory regarding the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover suggests that suspension components have been subject to wear in the past. While the recent history is clear, it is prudent to listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking noises when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which may indicate renewed wear in the anti-roll bar linkages or suspension bushes. Additionally, given the previous advisory on tyre wear, a thorough check of the current tread depth and evenness of wear across all four tyres should be conducted to ensure they meet legal standards and are not wearing prematurely on the edges.
