2013 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · LM13 XTC

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of deferred attention regarding consumable components. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 55,392 miles passed, it carried multiple advisories for worn tyres and thinning rear brake pads. This pattern mirrors the issues seen in 2024 and 2023, suggesting that parts are only replaced when they approach legal failure limits rather than following a proactive replacement schedule. At 55,392 miles, this 2013 Freelander has significantly low mileage for its age, averaging approximately 4,260 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between the November 2021 test at 49,141 miles and the July 2023 test at 52,380 miles. This low-use profile often correlates with vehicles standing which can lead to degradation of rubber-based components, evidenced by the recurring reports of cracking and perishing tyres noted in the 2023 and 2025 entries. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The record shows a history of pitted and scored rear brake discs since 2023, with thinning pads consistently being flagged across three consecutive testing cycles. The 2025 advisory regarding cracked nearside rear tyres indicates that the rubber is losing its elasticity due to age rather than just tread wear. You should check the suspension bushings and perished seals for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot in these areas.
