2002 Land Rover Freelander 2.0L Diesel · OU52 AHK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on July 24, 2025, at 136,301 miles. While the current certificate is clean, the history shows a consistent pattern of immediate failure followed by a pass within the same week. This suggests the previous owners were proactive in rectifying defects only once flagged by the tester, rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule that would avoid failures prior to the annual test. At 24 years old, the recorded mileage of 136,301 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,679 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between intervals, with roughly 5,500 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 5,675 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This steady usage indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for years which often leads to dry rot in rubber components or seizing of brake calipers in vehicles of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounts, as older Freelander models are prone to significant corrosion that can remain hidden until a failure. Although the recent passes show no defects, the recurring failures prior to passing imply that components like suspension bushes, bolts, or exhaust hangers may be nearing the end of their functional life. Given the age, a thorough check for fluid leaks and perished hoses is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying degradation of age-related components.
