Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution due to the
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a professional inspection of the underside. The 2025 MOT report specifically highlighted corrosion on both the nearside and offside brake pipes; you should confirm whether these have been cleaned, treated, or replaced since the November test. Negotiate the price to account for potential remedial work on the braking and suspension systems, as these are recurring themes in this vehicle's history.
Check the service history for evidence of regular maintenance. Given the age and the recurring suspension-related advisories—such as anti-roll bar linkages and ball joints—ensure that the suspension components have been inspected or replaced as part of a routine schedule. Do not assume any work has been carried out unless you have documented receipts.
As a 2.2-litre diesel, this Freelander falls into a higher tax bracket and will likely be more expensive to fuel than smaller SUVs. Insurance groups for the Freelander are generally mid-to-high, so obtain a quote based on your specific circumstances before committing to the purchase.
Maintenance costs for this model can be significant, especially if suspension or brake components require frequent attention. Budgeting for an annual maintenance fund is recommended, as parts for older Land Rovers can be costly. You should estimate an annual running cost in the region of £1,800-£2,200, covering fuel, insurance, tax, and likely repairs.
Focus your inspection on the braking system. The 2025 MOT noted corrosion on multiple brake pipes, and the 2024 failure highlighted binding brakes and worn discs/pads. Ensure the pedal feel is firm and that there is no pulling to one side under braking.
Additionally, inspect the suspension. The history shows consistent issues with anti-roll bar linkages and ball joints. Listen for any knocking or rattling sounds during a test drive, particularly when travelling over uneven surfaces. Check the tyres for the uneven wear patterns noted in the 2025 MOT, as this can often be a symptom of underlying alignment or suspension geometry issues.
This 2013 Land Rover Freelander has covered 67,624 miles since its registration in September 2013. While it has passed its most recent MOT, the 2025 test included eight separate advisories, primarily concerning brake pipe corrosion and suspension play. The vehicle's history shows a mix of clean passes and intermittent failure/advisory cycles, reflecting the common wear-and-tear issues associated with this model.
The Land Rover Freelander is frequently associated with suspension and steering-related MOT failures, which is consistent with the data seen in this specific vehicle's history.
