2010 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · PL10 WGY

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is not in good order, as the most recent MOT test in June 2026 was passed at 144,214 miles without any recorded defects. However, the maintenance history indicates a progressive deterioration in the suspension and drivetrain components, which is a clear sign of an ongoing trend rather than a single incident. The mileage accumulation is substantial, with the vehicle approaching 16 years old and accumulating roughly 9,000 miles annually. This rapid growth suggests that the owner has been using the car with increasing frequency, leading to accelerated wear on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The 2026 test failure at this high mileage confirms that the accumulated wear has reached critical limits, making the vehicle unsafe for continued use despite the previous passing of the MOT. Given the recurring faults in the suspension and brakes, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the suspension components and the wear on the brake discs. While the rear tyre tread appears to be within the legal limit, the lack of defects in the 2026 test indicates that the car has not been serviced since the previous MOT. The owner must ensure that the suspension bushings and coil springs are replaced before the next MOT to prevent further loss of structural integrity and to avoid the risks of brake failure that are likely to occur under these conditions.
