2009 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · NG09 HPU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of 50, which indicates it is still drivable but requires urgent mechanical attention. The MOT test on 2026-06-03 was conducted at 102,952 miles, placing the vehicle significantly past its typical 17-year age window, suggesting that the previous owner may have been absent or the car was driven infrequently. This recent test confirms that the vehicle is not currently in a stable condition, with recurring faults such as corrosion on suspension components and brake pipes indicating ongoing wear that has not been addressed. The mileage pattern reveals a distinct gap between the most recent test and the vehicle's age, with the last recorded passing test occurring in May 2024 at 98,575 miles. This discrepancy suggests that the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation over the last two years, which could indicate a lack of regular servicing or excessive use. The maintenance history shows no major gaps in the 2023-2021 test dates, with all entries passing, but the cumulative wear on the drivetrain and suspension mounts suggests that the mechanical integrity of the vehicle has deteriorated significantly without intervention. Given the recurring structural and mechanical issues identified in the MOT record, including corrosion on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and underbody. While the drivetrain components like the track rod and anti-roll bar balls appear to have slight play, this is likely normal wear and may not preclude operation. However, the significant corrosion on the rear sub-frame and brake pipe, along with the near-surface wear on the rear and front tyres, requires immediate specialist repair before the vehicle can be returned to a safe driving condition.
