2011 Freelander 2.2 SD4 - Reliability?

[55palfers]

Would you be certifiable to even contemplate the above car?

It's done 92K miles and via a reputable garage.

It will only be asked to do about 3K miles per year though.

Go to Freel2.com ...... and ask the same question. there you will find past and present owners with lots of advice ..... sorry PH .... but you are too broad to answer this question.

PH might be broad but there are some very knowledgeable people, especially in the area of LR products...

FL2 - Awesome car, just make sure it's an auto (which given it's the SD4, it probably is). As long as it has been serviced, I wouldn't have any problems with owning one, especially at that age as most of the niggles would have been sorted out by then.

Do the usual checks, take for a drive, make sure there aren't any grumbles, knocks or nasty noises, fiddle with all the switches and make sure everything works.

This is a Master Class in what can be done with a Freelander 2.

Snapped when up in Scotland 2yrs ago.

I'd be curious to know what that's weighing in at and if it's within the GVW.

So what's the GVW & kerb weight of that one then... You might be surprised.

Sorry OP... We've sorta hijacked the thread but if it's an auto & the price it right, go for it.

Thanks for the responses gents

Touch wood but in 20 months of ownership nothing has gone wrong on our SD4 auto, currently on 75k miles. A comfy, effortless to drive workhorse.
They do seem to go through tyres a bit faster (or Michelin CrossClimates wear fast) than you'd expect, but shouldn't be a problem given your mileage.

Well, it must have been a good one. It sold within 24 hours.
