2005 Land Rover Freelander 2.0L Diesel · WD05 ABZ

The most recent MOT on 24 December 2025 at 143,720 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle is presently road‑worthy. A single failure on 19 November 2022 at 116,743 miles did not generate any recorded faults, suggesting the failure was likely administrative rather than mechanical, and the subsequent pass a month later confirms an improving trend. Mileage has risen from 116,743 miles in November 2022 to 143,720 miles in December 2025, an average of roughly 9,300 miles per year over the last three years. Across the 21‑year lifespan the vehicle averages about 6,800 miles annually, a figure consistent with moderate use and without any abrupt spikes that would hint at periods of intensive driving or prolonged storage. A prospective buyer should focus the in‑person inspection on wear items that are not captured by the MOT record. Examine tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as tyre wear accelerates with mileage. Check suspension bushings, coil springs and any signs of binding in the rear brakes, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Inspect brake discs for scoring, and verify that there is no excessive corrosion on the chassis or under‑carriage that could affect structural integrity. A thorough visual and functional check of these components will confirm whether the vehicle’s long‑term maintenance aligns with the clean MOT history.
