2010 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · MK10 CWM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a developing issue with front-end geometry. The most recent test in September 2025 at 78,939 miles identified wear on both nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes. This follows an entry from the 2024 test at 75,584 miles where the exact same faults were flagged. While the vehicle has passed these tests, the persistence of these advisories indicates that the suspension components are nearing their service life. At 78,939 miles, the Freelander has significantly low mileage for its sixteen-year age, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns between September 2021 and 2025, where the vehicle covered roughly 24,000 miles. However, the gap of 11,000 miles between the 2021 and 2022 tests suggests a period of higher usage, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on brake surfaces rather than wear from constant friction. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension to check for excessive play in the arm bushes, as the recurring advisories suggest these parts have not yet been replaced. The 2022 record at 65,531 miles highlighted thin brake pads and pitted discs across all axles, indicating that previous owners may have neglected routine consumable maintenance until prompted by the MOT test itself. Given the low mileage and age, the buyer should also specifically check for structural corrosion on the wheel arches and sills, which are common failure points on this model when vehicles sit stationary for long periods.
