Hi all,

I have offer to get used 2009 Freelander 2 TD4-S automatic with 65000 miles on it and I am not sure should I. I read negative and positive posts and can't make my mind. It sounds like this car have so much faults but also there are lot of good and positive comments for this vehicle.

I never had Land Rover so I don't know what to expect. I need a city car (i dont care about how much petrol needs) and for longer trips with my wife and dog.

I just dont want to make mistake because I bought new Dacia Duster and it SUCKS real bad (no power at all, isolation was terrible it is a car)

So any help, comments will appreciate..

Remember that most people will post on a forum because they have something to moan about. Forums full of 'my car is wonderful, never goes wrong, is better than any other car on the road etc, etc' do not make for interesting forums, while:
"my car is rubbish, always breaks down, is the worst car ever etc, etc," is likely to promote debate.

Read all the comments on this site if you can be bothered and you'll probably come up with most people are very happy with their Freelander 2, some people have had issues and some people have experienced significan problems. I know of someone who has done 158000 miles in an 07 Freelander 2 without any major problems and only 2 sets of tyres.

You will never be able to guarantee the car will not go wrong but a 09 car with 65000 miles should be OK and if it has a full LR Service History, so much the better.

As rchrdleigh has stated there are pros and cons to all cars. I had a brand new bmw a few years ago and had nothing but trouble with it. At the end of the day its down to you. your needs and likes.
The freelander 2 is a very nice and easy to drive car and will go almost anywhere. Like all other cars, they are just machines and machines do go wrong from time to time

look at how many thousands of freelanders have been made and how many on here have got faults if you listen to everybody on here you would never buy one but there are more satisfied owners than not also more freelander owners would buy another one . like all things that are massed produced you can have good or bad try and speak to the previous owner b4 you buy if you can and look and listen for the most regular faults that are mentioned on here i think if you do that you can satisfy yourself that you coverd all the angles most important is make sure it has a full dealer service history in if you can buy with a good warranty these are excellent vehicles on and off road/ice and snow i have no regets about buying mine  rainy-city

Cheers all for answer!


The car have full dealer service history and that's one reason I want to purchase it.
I had bad experience with old car (Dacia Duster) and I test drove it and it was perfect, but on the longer trips it shows all negative sides. Also there was a tons of happy owners..

I will have to cut it and decide!

I'm sure you won't regret it if you decide to buy it they are great cars, go for it. Gone, 2007 TD4 SE Auto Baltic blue, clear side repeaters, full sized alloy spare.

English by birth..... Yorkshire by the grace of God.

if you are buying from a landrover dealer see if you can get a 12mth warranty as part of the deal  rainy-city
