2013 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · OV63 AEW

The 2013 Land Rover Freelander with 72,149 miles demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent MOT on 2025-10-15 confirmed a pass with no defects. The prior tests from 2024 and 2023 also showed no issues, though a duplicate entry for 2024-10-10 records both a pass and a fail at the same mileage, raising questions about data accuracy. No structural, brake, or suspension faults were flagged in the valid tests, suggesting consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s low annual mileage of ~5,550 miles indicates infrequent use, which may preserve components but could also imply prolonged inactivity. The mileage progression shows gradual accumulation, with 64,326 miles in 2022 rising to 72,149 by 2025, a total of 7,823 miles over three years. Gaps between tests, such as the 12-month interval between 2023-10-05 and 2024-10-10, align with standard MOT schedules. However, the absence of recorded defects in all tests, despite the failed entry, suggests either a procedural error or minimal wear. Low mileage may reduce wear on consumables but could also lead to issues like seized joints or dry rot if the vehicle was stored without use. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, common in older SUVs, and check for corrosion in the exhaust or underbody, which can develop during inactivity. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be tested for binding, as low mileage sometimes masks gradual wear. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the duplicate failed test warrants verification of the vehicle’s actual service record. No advisories or structural concerns were noted, but physical inspection remains essential to confirm the absence of hidden issues.
