2008 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · PE08 YSY

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 with 139,320 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement compared to the 2022 inspection, as the last three annual tests have resulted in clean passes without advisories or failures. This suggests that the previous owner addressed identified issues and has maintained the vehicle to a high standard recently. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's eighteen-year age, averaging approximately 7,740 miles per year overall. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 19,352 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 4,800 miles annually during that specific period. This low annual accumulation and consistent testing intervals indicate the car has been used regularly rather than left sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for keeping seals and mechanical components from seizing. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the rear subframe, as the 2022 test flagged structural corrosion there. While the tester noted that rigidity was not significantly reduced at that time, rust on Land Rover components tends to progress if not treated. You should also inspect the offside front power steering hose for any signs of weeping or further degradation, as this was a noted weakness four years ago. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the condition of suspension bushes and control arms is essential to ensure no new mechanical play has developed beyond the scope of the MOT test.
