Land Rover Freelander MOT Check

The Land Rover Freelander has an average MOT pass rate of 67.2%, which is 20.3 percentage points below the Land Rover brand average of 87.4%. This is a reasonable result that reflects typical UK reliability standards. Regular servicing and addressing advisories promptly will help keep your Freelander on the road.

The most common reasons a Land Rover Freelander fails its MOT are brake pipe damaged or excessively corroded, the aim of a headlamp is not within limits laid down in the requirements, the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired. If you are preparing your Freelander for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.

Typical mileage for the Freelander is around 42,000 miles at 5 years. When evaluating a used Freelander, compare the odometer reading against these benchmarks. Significantly lower mileage than expected could indicate a clocked vehicle — run a free mileage check to verify.
