1999 Land Rover Freelander: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 50% pass first time (all 1999 cars: 63%) Stands out: exhaust emissions (catalyst) 5×, rigid brake pipes 1.8×, track rod ends 2.5× 373 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 53% pass first time (all 1999 cars: 63%) Stands out: engine oil leaks 2.2×, anti-lock braking system 7.5×, track rod ends 2.6× 435 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
