2010 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · WD10 FNV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 110,041 miles, though the test identified structural corrosion on both the front and rear sub-frames. The tester recorded that this corrosion has not yet seriously weakened the components, yet the appearance of structural advisories on a 16-year-old Land Rover suggests a worsening trend regarding underbody protection. While the car remains roadworthy, the presence of corrosion on load-bearing parts indicates a shift from routine mechanical wear to potential long-term structural degradation. Mileage accumulation appears consistent and typical for the vehicle's age. The record shows the odometer rose from 87,223 miles in March 2022 to 110,041 miles by March 2026, covering approximately 22,800 miles over four years. This averages roughly 5,700 miles annually, which aligns with standard usage patterns and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to unusually high stress or extended periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should prioritise the sub-frame corrosion noted in the latest test to ensure the metal thickness remains within acceptable limits. Historically, the front suspension and braking systems have required attention. The March 2023 test flagged a worn lower suspension arm bush and front brake discs, while the March 2025 entry noted light oil misting on both rear shock absorbers. Although the 2024 test returned a clean result, the recurrence of wear on suspension bushes and braking components points to standard ageing issues that likely need monitoring or imminent replacement.
