Used Land Rover Freelander 2 for sale

The Land Rover Freelander 2 offers seven airbags, stability control and hill descent control as standard. Strong crash test results from Euro NCAP mean you can drive with confidence. Many models feature an advanced traction system, Terrain Response, for added grip and control in all weather and on rough terrain.

Most Freelander 2 models feature a 2.2-litre diesel engine, offered in several power outputs (typically TD4 and SD4). Early versions included a 3.2-litre, six-cylinder petrol, though this is rare – and it's not as efficient. From 2009, a fuel-saving front-wheel-drive ‘eD4’ diesel became available, and was popular with drivers who wanted lower emissions and better mpg.

Basic S models come well-equipped with air-con, electric windows and remote locking. Higher trim levels include features like cruise control, rear parking sensors, heated and part-leather seats, sat-nav and premium audio. Later models (from 2013) also featured a 7-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system and improved connectivity.

Four-wheel-drive diesel versions typically return between 37 and 41mpg. The front-wheel-drive eD4 model offers up to 47mpg on paper and lower emissions, making it a more economical option. The 3.2 petrol is thirstier, usually managing no better than 25mpg in mixed driving.

Inspect the underside and suspension for damage, especially if it’s seen off-road use. Listen for rear differential noise, and check service records for major work (like timing belt changes). Electrical and sunroof issues can also crop up. For extra peace of mind, consider making use of The AA Vehicle Inspection.

The Freelander 2 made gains over older models, but reliability isn’t its strongest suit – main rivals score better in owner surveys. Still, cars with thorough maintenance and full history tend to be less trouble. Buying from a specialist or with strong documentation reduces ownership stress.
