2009 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · RO59 KYV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in May 2025 at 143,210 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum legal standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have addressed necessary repairs before they escalated into failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. Between January 2022 and May 2025, the car covered 14,636 miles, representing a steady rate of travel rather than long periods of stationary neglect. A brief anomaly exists in January 2023 where the vehicle was re-tested after three days at 135,632 miles following an initial failure, but subsequently passed. This suggests a minor, isolated issue that was rectified immediately rather than a sign of chronic mechanical failure. Despite the clean recent records, a buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components common to Land Rover Freelanders of this era. The lack of recorded advisories in the last two tests does not preclude surface corrosion on the chassis or subframe, which often hides until it becomes significant. You should also check for signs of worn suspension bushes and leaking shock absorbers, as these wear items frequently degrade at the 140,000-mile mark regardless of a MOT pass.
