Land Rover Freelander owners have reported a total of 789 problems for their cars built in the 7 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Land Rover Freelander. The 2002 Land Rover Freelander cars have the most problems reported (398 problems).
| Model Year | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| 2006 Freelander | |
| 2005 Freelander | |
| 2004 Freelander | |
| 2003 Freelander | |
| 2002 Freelander | |
| 2001 Freelander | |
| 2000 Freelander |
The following chart shows the 24 most common problems for Land Rover Freelander cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's engine and engine cooling (314 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's power train (127 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Land Rover Freelander of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Freelander model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Land Rover Freelander model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
Another way to measure the reliability across the model years of the Land Rover Freelander is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
