2011 Land Rover Freelander Gs Td4

CarHunch analysed 109 real MOT records for the 2011 Land Rover Freelander Gs Td4. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2011 Land Rover Freelander GS TD4 matches the UK average pass rate at 80.3%, suggesting broadly typical reliability for a 13-year-old diesel SUV—neither a standout nor a concern. The complete absence of dangerous defects across 109 vehicles inspected is genuinely reassuring and indicates no systemic safety issues with this model.

At just over 104,000 miles on average, these Freelanders have seen moderate use for their age, and the 0.84 failures per vehicle suggest wear-and-tear rather than catastrophic problems. Before buying, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on the transmission and cooling system, as these are common weak points on this generation, and factor in potential servicing costs typical of Land Rover ownership.

What to check before buying a 2011 Land Rover Freelander Gs Td4

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
