2014 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · OV14 DHA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 5 August 2025 at 179,705 miles with no recorded defects. The pattern of consecutive passes since the 2022 test, apart from isolated failures on brake pad thickness and lighting, suggests a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening one. Mileage has risen sharply in the latter half of the record. Between 27 July 2021 (56,623 miles) and 5 August 2025 (179,705 miles) the odometer increased by roughly 123,000 miles, equating to an average of about 30,000 miles per year – well above the 14,975 miles per year calculated over the full twelve‑year span. Earlier intervals show more modest growth, for example from 30 December 2018 (30,405 miles) to 27 July 2021 (56,623 miles). The abrupt acceleration in mileage may indicate periods of intensive use, which can accelerate wear on consumables and load‑bearing components. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the rear braking system, as the 2 August 2024 failure cited rear inner pads below 1.5 mm and the 27 July 2021 failure recorded nearside rear pads similarly thin. Tyre condition also warrants inspection; the 6 July 2023 test flagged tyres worn close to the legal limit, and a similar advisory appeared in 2018. Lighting should be verified, given the 2021 failure of nearside headlamps on both dipped and main beams and the inoperative rear registration plate lamp. While no structural or suspension advisories appear in the record, the high mileage and recent intensive use justify a visual check for corrosion, bush wear, and any unusual noises in the suspension and drivetrain.
