2010 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · LL60 OFD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in November 2025 at 114,421 miles passed with a single advisory for a perishing offside rear tyre. This follows a failed test in November 2024 where the vehicle was flagged for suspension play, exhaust mounting issues, and a worn tyre. While the vehicle consistently passes its tests, the recurring nature of certain faults suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure. At 114,421 miles over 16 years, the Freelander has averaged approximately 7,151 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for an older SUV. The mileage accumulation is steady, with intervals of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles between the annual tests. This consistent use suggests the vehicle does not sit idle for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake seals, though the relatively low annual mileage does not exempt the vehicle from the standard age-related wear expected on a Land Rover. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, specifically targeting the anti-roll bar linkages and bushings, which showed signs of play in late 2024. The exhaust mounting system also requires scrutiny to ensure the previous defective mount was properly secured and is not prone to further structural failure. Given the history of tyre damage and uneven wear in both 2023 and 2024, the current condition of all tyres should be checked for adequate tread and consistent wear patterns to rule out alignment issues.
