2013 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · SL13 ADZ

This Land Rover Freelander has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 1 August 2025 at 132,733 miles. The absence of any failures or advisories suggests the vehicle has been consistently compliant with UK roadworthiness standards over the past three years, though the most recent test occurred just under a year ago—nearly due for renewal on 1 August 2026. The lack of recurring issues implies that major systems, including suspension components, brake calipers, and exhaust emissions, have not been compromised by wear or neglect during this period. The mileage progression indicates steady usage without abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. From 115,092 miles in July 2022 to 132,733 miles today, the vehicle has accumulated roughly 17,641 miles in just over four years, averaging around 4,410 miles annually—well within typical expectations for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no gaps suggesting extended periods of disuse, nor are there rapid mileage jumps that might indicate aggressive driving or deferred maintenance. The consistent interval between tests (approximately 12,000 miles per MOT cycle) further supports responsible ownership. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear areas that are not captured by the MOT test. Particular attention should be given to the suspension system, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these components are prone to fatigue over 130,000 miles. The brake system—specifically the condition of rear calipers, disc thickness, and pad material—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, though the MOT’s silence on this matter is reassuring. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should also be scrutinised for corrosion or damage, as these issues often develop gradually and may not always be flagged during a standard MOT. Finally, the condition of the drivetrain, particularly the transfer case and differential, warrants inspection, given the Freelander’s part-time four-wheel-drive capability and the mileage accumulated.
