2009 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · SC09 LAB

The vehicle presents a remarkably stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 62,930 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of perfect records over the last five years suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and avoids the mechanical or structural failures typically associated with this age and model. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 23,512 miles, showing a steady annual accumulation of roughly 5,000 to 7,000 miles. This low usage rate reduces the mechanical wear on drivetrain components and engine-related parts, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown that may not always manifest during a stationary test. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of components prone to low-mileage neglect. Focus specifically on the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and mounting pans, as rust can develop regardless of distance driven. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perishing, as rubber elements become brittle over two decades. Additionally, check the brake discs and calipers for pitting or seized pistons, as low-frequency use often results in surface rust that can compromise braking performance.
