Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to emerging sig
When inspecting this silver 2.2L diesel Freelander, your primary focus should be on the underbody. The 2026 MOT recorded corrosion on the sub-frame and suspension components; you should inspect these areas closely to determine if the corrosion is progressing. Additionally, check the condition of the power steering hoses, as the most recent test noted corrosion on these pipes.
Negotiate based on the upcoming maintenance needs suggested by the MOT advisories. Ensure that the tyres and brake pads, which have been issues in previous years (notably the 2024 failure), have significant tread and life remaining. Ask for evidence of any recent work carried out to address the suspension bush wear and the corroded steering components noted in March 2026.
As a 2179cc diesel, this Freelander will have typical SUV running costs. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style and load, but expect moderate diesel consumption. The insurance group will vary depending on the driver's profile, but Land Rover models generally sit in mid-range brackets.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the age and mileage of the vehicle. The recent MOT advisories for suspension components and steering pipes suggest that mechanical upkeep will be a recurring theme. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are expected to be moderate to high.
A thorough inspection of the underside is essential. Specifically, look for the extent of the sub-frame and suspension component corrosion mentioned in the March 2026 MOT. Check the power steering system for any signs of leaks or weeping, particularly around the corroded hoses identified by the tester.
Check the suspension for any play or knocking sounds, which could indicate the 'slightly worn' bushes mentioned in the latest record. Finally, inspect the windscreen for any chips or cracks, as this was noted as damaged in both 2025 and 2026, and ensure the nearside front indicator is clear and not discoloured.
This 2011 Land Rover Freelander has covered 130,055 miles since its first registration in March 2011. The MOT history shows a transition from a clean record in 2023 and 2024 to a series of advisories in 2026 regarding corrosion and component wear. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,591 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.5% average MOT pass rate, with common failures related to parking brakes, tyres, and headlamps.
