Overall difficulty rating
The compact SUV-styled Freelander was initially a disappointment in its Mk1 guise, especially the Rover K-series petrol-powered models, so has the second generation from 2006 to 2014 fared any better? We think it has, especially after spending time with independent specialist Four Plus 4 and following a service of a 2013 model that’s powered by a TD4 2179cc common-rail twin-cam diesel engine. Serviceable items are straightforward to access along with the majority of components that need to be inspected.
