2009 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · SP09 UDU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of passes without recorded failures. The most recent test on 13 May 2025 at 111,965 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and environmental standards. This trend of clean sheets over the last five years suggests a proactive approach to maintenance where issues are addressed before they trigger test failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for light annual commuting, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. There is a notable period of low usage between September 2020 and September 2021, where the vehicle covered only 119 miles in a year. However, since 2021, usage has increased to a steady rate of roughly 4,000 to 4,500 miles annually. This regularity in mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods in recent years, which can help prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid contamination common in older Land Rovers of this age. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common Freelander failure points that the test does not cover. The absence of advisories does not guarantee the absence of structural rust on the chassis or rear mounting points, which are prone to corrosion on this model. You should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or cracking, as these often degrade due to age regardless of mileage. Additionally, check for oil leaks around the engine and verify the condition of the brake discs, as the MOT only checks for functional efficiency and minimum thickness limits rather than overall remaining life.
