The 2011 Freelander passes its MOT first time at 84.1%, which is comfortably above the UK average of 80%—a genuinely positive sign for reliability. However, 35.4% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded at some point, which is nearly double the typical rate and suggests buyers need to factor in higher maintenance and safety risks.
At nearly 80,000 miles median, these Freelanders have been well-used but aren't excessively worn for a 13-year-old vehicle. The average 2.36 failures per test and particularly high advisory count of 15.1 per vehicle point to a car that demands regular preventative maintenance—seized components, wear items, and fluid leaks are the norm rather than the exception, so budget accordingly and always have any purchase inspected by a Land Rover-specialist mechanic before committing.
The 2011 Land Rover Freelander has a decent first-time pass rate (84.5%), but a higher-than-average share of vehicles have had serious defects recorded — the individual vehicle's history matters a lot here.
These stats describe 12,961 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
