2014 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · OV64 ONS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on April 9 2026 at 86,812 miles. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable over the long term, the failure just four miles prior to that test indicates a lapse in preventative maintenance. The tester identified a leaking offside front power steering component and an offside rear inner brake pad below the 1.5mm threshold. The fact that these faults were rectified immediately to secure a pass suggests the owner is reactive to mechanical failures rather than proactive. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between June 2023 at 70,554 miles and July 2024 at 73,169 miles, where the car covered only 2,615 miles in thirteen months. However, usage accelerated between April 2025 and April 2026, with the vehicle covering over 6,500 miles in that single year. The current total of 86,812 miles suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive motorway use, which generally preserves the structural integrity of the Land Rover chassis. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the steering system to ensure the reported leak is fully resolved and has not damaged the surrounding components. Given the failure of the offside rear brake pad, it is vital to check the discs for uneven wear or sticking calipers that might have caused premature pad depletion. The age of the Freelander also demands a close look at suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion, as these components are common points of failure on this model regardless of relatively low mileage.
