2012 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · LO62 AEB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-04 at 98,923 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an identical date also shows a failure with no recorded issues, suggesting a potential data inconsistency. Previous tests from 2024-06-20 (94,457 miles) and 2022-12-07 (92,662 miles) were both pass, indicating a stable maintenance record over the last four years. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are documented, implying consistent upkeep. However, the failure entry without defects raises questions about the reliability of the MOT data for this specific date. The vehicle’s mileage of 98,923 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 7,066 miles, typical for its 14-year age. The gap between the 2022-12-07 test (85,384 miles) and 2024-06-20 (94,457 miles) reflects a 9,073-mile increase over 18 months, slightly above the annual average, which may indicate periods of heavier use or delayed MOTs. Subsequent tests show steady progression, with no significant jumps in mileage that suggest prolonged inactivity. The absence of advisories or defects in the majority of records supports a generally well-maintained vehicle. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, as Land Rovers of this era are prone to worn bushes and coil springs, which can affect handling. Check for corrosion on underbody panels and the exhaust system, as these are common issues in older models. The lack of brake-related defects in the MOT history is reassuring, but a thorough brake system check, including disc thickness and caliper function, is recommended. Verify the vehicle’s history for any unresolved issues linked to the 2025-06-04 failure, as the absence of recorded defects may mask underlying problems.
