my 2009 HSE Auto has been very reliable, compared to my first 2006 SE which was a launch model and had teething issues

Only one problem here, admittedly a big one but happened because of a bad batch of parts allegedly.

Bearing in mind there is a waiting list for new Freelanders (12 months for the Evoke, built on the same line) so 2nd hand values are holding up well, unless you are trying to sell As the OldGeezer has unfortunately found out low mileage is no garantee of trouble free motoring. I would have thought that an average of 10k per year was about right - so 60k sounds fair. If you can, buy from a reputable specialist (we have a section for naming and shaming), as the software updates should then be applied, they do make a difference. It is worth travelling a distance to buy from a specialist that can actually fix the car, thats why Lookers in London sell so many vehicles up north. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner |

old adage if the car has a towbar walk away, it will probably have towed a heavy caravan so suspensions gearbox clutch will have felt the strain
