2002 Land Rover Freelander 2.0L Diesel · LS52 YWA

The 2002 Land Rover Freelander shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded on 28 February 2022 at 222,024 miles. The most recent test noted no defects, and the prior failure on 14 February 2022 at 222,019 miles also listed no defects, indicating the rejection was administrative rather than mechanical. Across the five-year MOT span the vehicle cleared every test where faults were expected to be logged, suggesting no escalating mechanical decline. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,251 miles, typical for a 24-year-old vehicle. The records show 188,767 miles on 30 January 2019, rising to 202,178 miles on 7 February 2020, then 219,389 miles on 13 February 2021, and 222,024 miles by February 2022. The jump between 2020 and 2021 accounts for over 17,000 miles in one year, well above the average, before dropping to near-static use in the final twelve months. The sparse history with zero advisories across all entries gives little insight into consumable or structural condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the Freelander's age and the 222,024-mile accumulation. The lack of recorded advisories does not confirm absence of corrosion or worn components; testers often omit minor findings on older vehicles. Verify the 14 February 2022 failure reason through DVSA documentation, as the no-defect label may mask a documentation mismatch. Check underneath for structural rust on chassis members and inspect the drivetrain for viscous coupling wear before purchase.
