Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for those seeking a diesel SUV with a consistent recent MOT record. The vehicle shows a stable pattern of usage and has avoided major defects in its most recent inspections.
When inspecting this 2.2L diesel Freelander, focus on the mechanical components that commonly affect this model. Although the recent MOT history for LG61LJF is clean, you should verify if the 2022 failure was addressed comprehensively. Check the service history for evidence of timing belt changes and fluid intervals, as these are critical for the longevity of this engine.
Given the model's aggregate data, pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems. Even though this specific vehicle has no recent advisories, the model is prone to issues with ball joints and brake pipes. Ensure the underside is free from significant corrosion, which is a common failure point for Land Rover vehicles of this era.
As a 2179cc diesel, running costs will be influenced by fuel efficiency and the typical tax/insurance brackets for a mid-sized SUV. Diesel engines of this age can be efficient on long motorway runs but may face higher maintenance costs if used primarily for short city trips.
Expect typical maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age, including periodic servicing and potential wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, typically falls within a moderate range for this class of vehicle.
Specifically examine the suspension components, such as ball joints and bushes, as these are noted top failure reasons for the Freelander model across the wider dataset. It is also prudent to inspect the condition of the brake pipes and the overall state of the chassis for any signs of corrosion, which is a frequent issue for this model type.
Additionally, check the engine bay for any signs of oil leaks and ensure the diesel engine starts smoothly and idles consistently. Since the vehicle has recorded no defects in its last three MOT tests, the focus should be on verifying that the current mechanical state matches the clean paper record.
This 2011 Land Rover Freelander, finished in grey, has covered 92,920 miles as of its last MOT in September 2025. The vehicle has maintained a consistent mileage trajectory, recording roughly 1,000 to 2,000 miles per year over the last few years. While it experienced a failure in September 2022, the subsequent three years of testing have resulted in clean passes with no defects recorded.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 78.3%, with common failures occurring in ball joints, brake pipes, and due to corrosion.
