Quick summary
Total: 2,230 cars
The 2002 Land Rover Freelander has an overall defect rate of 408 per 100 vehicles, which is 9% higher than the average for its year. This model shows a notable increase in defects as mileage rises, particularly in the 124,000+ miles segment where it reaches 526 defects per 100 vehicles, compared to the average of 538. While it performs better than average in the "Other" category, it has significantly higher defect rates in areas such as brakes, steering, body/structure, and equipment. These findings suggest that while the Freelander may excel in some aspects, it is prone to more serious issues in key safety and structural components compared to the average car from 2002.
