Our Verdict
This Land Rover Freelander presents a relatively clean MOT profile for its age. It is a sensible option for those seeking a diesel SUV, provided the service history is verified.
When inspecting this specific 2014 Freelander, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the 2.2L diesel engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. While the recent MOT records are clean, you should check for any evidence of the common model issues identified in aggregate data, such as ball joint wear or brake pipe corrosion.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at 76,534 miles, it has travelled more than the statistical average for this model. Ensure that the tyres were replaced following the 2022 failure and check the remaining tread depth and brand quality on all four wheels. Ask the seller for proof of the most recent service to complement the MOT data.
As a 2179cc diesel, this Freelander will offer better motorway fuel economy than its petrol counterparts, though costs will depend heavily on driving style and load. Expect it to sit in a moderate insurance group typical for Land Rover SUVs of this era.
Maintenance costs for this model can fluctuate; while the recent MOTs show no mechanical defects, you should budget for common wear-and-tear items like brake pads and tyres. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are estimated to be in the mid-range for a diesel SUV.
Given the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the suspension components. Specifically, inspect the ball joints and steering linkage, as these are noted as top failure reasons for the Freelander across the wider dataset.
Underneath the vehicle, check the chassis and brake lines for any signs of corrosion, which is a documented issue for this model. While this specific vehicle passed its 2025 MOT without defects, a physical inspection of the brake pipes and underside is essential to ensure no early-stage corrosion is developing.
Registered in August 2014, this black 2.2L diesel Freelander has covered 76,534 miles as of its last MOT in September 2025. The vehicle's MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes since 2022, following a single failure related to tyre tread depth. Its mileage is slightly higher than the model aggregate average of 6,625 miles per year, but remains within reasonable expectations for a 12-year-old diesel vehicle.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.3% MOT pass rate, with common failures involving ball joints, brake pipes, and corrosion.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2014 model year cars.
- Haldex Coupling Pump FailureModerate
The Haldex AWD coupling pump becomes clogged with sludge or its pressure sensor fails, disabling the 4WD system and triggering traction warnings.
- DPF and EGR Issues (Diesel)Moderate
Diesel particulate filter blocks and EGR valves clog, especially on short urban journeys. Can cause limp mode, power loss and increased fuel consumption.
- Power Steering Hose LeaksModerate
The high-pressure power steering hose near the rack develops cracks and leaks, causing heavy steering and whining noises. The steering rack itself can also fail on pre-2008 models due to manufacturing contamination.
