2012 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · WF12 YCB

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its last five annual inspections without failure. The most recent test in November 2025 at 128,995 miles resulted in only a minor advisory regarding a nearside rear inner tyre worn to the legal limit. This reflects a consistent pattern where the vehicle passes despite minor consumable wear issues rather than mechanical or structural failures. The resolution of these tyre issues suggests that the previous owners addressed basic maintenance requirements as they were flagged during the testing process. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between the November 2021 test at 88,236 miles and the November 2025 test at 128,995 miles, the car covered roughly 40,000 miles. This steady usage indicates regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which can often lead to perished seals or brake fluid degradation. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, confirming the vehicle has been kept under active supervision throughout the last four years. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry given the recurring reports of uneven tyre wear. The 2021, 2023, and 2025 records all highlight tyres worn on the edges, which often points to worn control arm bushes, faulty ball joints, or misaligned tracking. While the MOT record does not flag structural corrosion, the high mileage and age of the Freelander necessitate a close look at the chassis for rust around subframe mounting points. Checking for play in the steering linkage components is also essential to ensure the handling remains safe given the documented tyre wear patterns.
