I purchased this Freelander in July 23 having had one before (had lots of problems with) and was sceptical at first as it had covered 245,000 miles, but due to the comprehensive service history and condition I thought I would give it a chance.

I must say that it has been brilliant and have had absolutely no problems with it whatsoever and drives like new. Most likely due to its comprehensive service history as it's the basic model without all the added gadgets and novelties the higher spec models and my previous one had. Due to being such a decent car I have kept it the same way and maintained it as it had been previously. Even in my ownership alongside keeping on top of the usual maintenance I also replaced the rear differential and at the same time had the Haldex serviced by Bell Engineering (only did for piece of mind as had issues with my previous one). Have had any recommendations by my local garage or advisories on MOT's carried out including the rear brake shoes replaced, brake pads, rear discs, brake cables all replaced, tyres, bonnet struts, anti roll bars links and I've even changed all the alloy wheel nuts.

One would most likely be thinking why am I selling?. Well I only bought in the first place as was replacing my dog car/vehicle and unfortunately my dog had trouble getting in unless I lifted her (old age). Even to the extent of buying dog steps and a ramp she said no thanks plus the fact she's getting older now and even struggles to get in the car I use for her. Nonetheless it has been super useful whereby I have been going back and forth over the last few years across the M62 as my father died and was sorting out his estate. I also have other cars and even my late fathers so have too many and need to downsize as it were.

Back to the Freelander, I will say it's mechanically sound, not a show pony as you would expect from a new car and remembering it is now 15 years old but still looks good. Usual gear stick skirt wear and steering wheel worn but I put a cover on.
Mileage now 252,812 and may increase as still use it.
Manual
Diesel and very, very economical.
Full Leather seats with front heated.
Electric windows all round
Rear tinted windows
Air Conditioning (works brilliantly and use it even in winter, not on cold mind)
Parrot Mki9200 telephone comms system. Works great.

Being the eco version has the Stop/Start but only works with a brand new battery and then after a few months doesn't but prefer it without anyway. Also informs you of when to change gear as if one would need it and can be switched off but you have to do it each time you start. Ive never had any issues starting even though the stop/start function doesn't. I suppose if one had it connected to a battery maintainer at home it would keep the battery at maximum. Its never bothered me in the slightest.

MoT'd till June 2026 with x3 windscreen advisories (small repaired chips that don't affect drivers view and not really noticeable). I was going to use my windscreen excess if got any worse and have changed but hasn't bothered me.

As I mentioned it's a great car and do not let the mileage put you off as will run and run past the 300,000 I have no doubt. Cambelt was changed as per landrover recommendations 150,000/10 Years or whatever comes first and next change will be at 20 years or 300,000.

Looking to sell for £1500 which is in my opinion a good deal for a car that will get you from A to B, runs perfect, has no mechanical faults, couple scratches here and there, (rear bumper is where Mrs going to close with wheely bins most likely but I will T cut those out?) and has only slight rust in usual spots. Alloys slight flakes here and there and drivers mirror arm has a hole (see pics) in it. Apart from that not bad at all. A nice looking car. Don’t let the mileage put you off, cars don’t get to this unless they’ve been maintained and I’ve a pack of receipts to prove.

Any questions please PM
(Note I won't bother unloading it from my personal effects/dog stuff unless it sells as if it doesn't then I will keep hold of and saves me loading it back up again with my jackets and stuff)

Apologies for the pics being sideways on as they weren’t when taken or selected. Might be as using latest iMac/IOS ? (Admin might be able to straighten?)
