2014 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · LC63 AEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean record for the last three years. The most recent test in June 2026 at 124,228 miles passed without recorded defects, though the tester noted items removed from the driver's view prior to testing. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that the previous owners have addressed necessary mechanical requirements before they escalated into MOT failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,350 miles per annum. Between July 2022 at 100,740 miles and June 2026 at 124,228 miles, the car covered 23,488 miles. This regular usage pattern is generally preferable to long periods of standing, which often leads to premature degradation of seals, rubber components, and brake systems in Land Rovers of this era. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that have shown recurring wear or recent failure. The record shows thin rear brake pads in both 2018 and 2019, indicating a pattern of brake wear that requires checking of the current discs and calipers. Furthermore, the 2023 test flagged three tyres for cracking and perishing; while these were likely replaced given the subsequent clean tests, the age and condition of the current set should be verified for dry-rot-related risks. Given the age and mileage of the vehicle, a thorough check of the structural integrity and suspension bushings is essential. While the MOT history does not yet highlight significant corrosion or suspension failures, the high-mileage environment puts significant stress on the wishbone control arms and shock absorbers of the Freelander. Inspect the underside for signs of rust on the subframe mounting points and check for any signs of fluid leaks from the drivetrain that might not be captured in a standard MOT inspection.
