2009 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · WF09 USO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 114,048 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of stabilisation following a period of mechanical concern in 2022. While the 2022 failure revealed multiple suspension and braking issues, the lack of advisories in the most recent test suggests that the previous owner has addressed pressing faults and maintained a consistent standard recently. At 17 years old, the recorded 114,048 miles represent an average of approximately 6,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an older SUV. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles covered between each annual test from 2022 to 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods, which often helps prevent seal degradation and fluid ingress common in older Land Rovers. A buyer must pay attention to the engine oil system, as oil leaks were flagged in both 2023 and 2024. Although the 2024 test noted the leak was not excessive, the 2023 report of oil falling below the dipstick level indicates a persistent consumption or seepage issue that requires a physical inspection of the head cover gasket, crank seal, and oil sump. Additionally, given the 2022 failure for a seriously leaking offside rear shock absorber and the 2024 advisory for worn rear tyres, the buyer should check the remaining suspension components for bushing wear and ensure the alignment is not causing further uneven tyre wear.
