2013 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · SM13 KYC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-03 at 104,572 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests in 2025-04-15 (97,182 miles) and 2024-04-29 (86,453 miles) also passed, though two failures occurred in 2025-04-09 (97,181 miles) and 2024-04-15 (86,431 miles), both without recorded defects. These failures suggest potential minor issues resolved before retesting, but the absence of ongoing faults in later tests implies the car has been maintained to acceptable standards. The mileage progression shows a consistent annual average of ~8,044 miles, aligning with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle. However, a notable jump from 86,431 miles (2024-04-15) to 97,181 miles (2025-04-09) reflects a 10,750-mile increase within 11 months, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes or brake discs. The subsequent 7,391-mile rise to 104,572 miles by 2026-04-03 appears more moderate, suggesting reduced usage or longer intervals between tests. While no structural or mechanical defects were recorded, the repeated failures in 2024 and 2025 warrant scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn coil springs or binding calipers, check brake discs for uneven wear, and assess exhaust emissions for anomalies. Corrosion in underbody components, common in older Land Rovers, should also be evaluated. The lack of advisories in recent tests is positive, but the vehicle’s history underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm continued compliance.
