2011 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · YB11 DXO

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health following a successful MOT test on 28 February 2026 at 131,728 miles. This record indicates a stable and positive maintenance trend, as the last three consecutive annual inspections resulted in zero recorded defects or advisories. The single failure noted on 10 February 2023 for a non-operational central stop lamp was a minor electrical fault that was rectified immediately, suggesting that the owner maintains the vehicle to a consistent standard rather than allowing issues to accumulate. Total mileage of 131,728 over fifteen years averages approximately 8,782 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a Land Rover Freelander of this vintage. The accumulation of miles remains steady, with roughly 9,000 miles added between the 2023 and 2024 tests and a similar increase leading into 2025. This consistent usage pattern is preferable to long periods of inactivity, which often lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The lack of recurring mechanical failures in the recent history suggests the drivetrain and major systems have been managed effectively. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on areas common to the Freelander platform that do not always trigger an immediate test failure. You should prioritize checking the rear suspension bushes and the condition of the coil springs for signs of corrosion or fatigue, as these are frequent wear items on this model. Inspect the underside for structural surface rust, particularly around the rear subframe mounting points, as the MOT test does not always capture the full extent of hidden corrosion. Finally, verify that the all-wheel-drive system engages smoothly without binding, as the MOT does not assess the internal mechanical health of the Haldex unit or the rear differential.
