2014 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · WJ64 FDU

The 2026-06-17 date establishes a clear chronological context for the current assessment, placing the vehicle's MOT record firmly within the 2024-2025 period. The most recent test on 2025-08-11 at 52,814 miles was passed, but this result was preceded by a failed entry on 2023-02-16 at 46,372 miles, indicating a significant gap of 8,442 miles between the two most recent checks. This interval represents a substantial period of inactivity where the vehicle was likely maintained, but the failure to pass the MOT on the second most recent date suggests a persistent trend of deterioration rather than a stable maintenance pattern. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 8,442 miles since the most recent MOT. While the vehicle is about 12 years old and has roughly 4,401 miles per year, the mileage is not uniformly high; rather, it is low enough to suggest lighter use or long standing, yet the specific failure to pass the MOT on the second-to-last entry indicates that the accumulated wear has exceeded the threshold for a pass. The gap between the 2025-08-11 pass and the 2023-02-16 failure is critical; without a passing record on this date, the vehicle cannot be considered roadworthy, even if the 2024-09-03 test at 50,660 miles was passed. In conclusion, the vehicle fails to meet roadworthiness standards due to a recurring failure to pass the MOT on 2023-02-16, which was preceded by a failed check on 2025-08-11. The maintenance trend is deteriorating, as evidenced by the two consecutive failed entries, rather than being stable or improving. Given the age of the car and the specific failure to pass the MOT, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity, suspension bushings, and brake components to determine if the mechanical risks are significant enough to warrant a full inspection or repair.
