Overdrive Motors is delighted to present this 2005 Land Rover Freelander XEi 1.8 petrol Special Edition. This rare and collectable 3-door SUV, featuring a removable hard top, has covered 118,907 miles and is ULEZ exempt.This stunning example comes with a fully stamped service book and a comprehensive file of associated invoices. When we took it on in 2023, we completed a full service, timing belt replacement, and a new water pump, ensuring the vehicle is in top condition.
The 2005 Freelander XEi stands out for its unique blend of on-road comfort and off-road capability, a hallmark of the Land Rover brand. Designed to blend rugged off-road prowess with everyday usability, this model includes a removable hard top and Targa sunroof, adding to its versatility and appeal for open-air driving enthusiasts. Its compact size makes it easy to maneuver in urban settings while still offering impressive performance.
Packed with features that enhance both charm and practicality, this quirky SUV boasts electric windows, electric mirrors, and ice-cold air conditioning. Central locking (with three keys and two remotes), recent tyres, and a new exhaust section contribute to its reliability. The electronic hill descent assist and electric drop-down rear window are thoughtful additions, enhancing both safety and usability.Despite its compact dimensions, the Freelander offers a spacious cabin and decent luggage capacity, making it suitable for small families or individuals with an active lifestyle. The short-wheelbase design of the 3-door model contributes to its nimble handling and stylish appearance.
Additionally, this model is known for its economical fuel consumption, making it a practical choice for everyday driving.In 2021, the clutch was replaced, adding to the vehicle's robust maintenance history. To give you peace of mind, we offer a 30-day warranty (subject to terms and conditions).
We initially sold this Freelander in 2023 to a customer who needed a temporary vehicle and bought it back in May 2024. The owner only added 6,907 miles during their time with the car. Despite thorough checks before the original sale, we will conduct another MOT, a service, and a full mechanical inspection. We are also replacing the gearstick leather cover to keep the interior looking sharp.
This vehicle has a Category D Write Off which was registered back in 2015. Overdrive Motors does not have any information regarding this incident or the work completed to restore the car to its optimum condition. However, we know due to the category that this was not a structural write-off and upon close inspection, we have been unable to find any evidence of repairs. We would be happy for an independent inspection or for the customer to view the car on a ramp.
This Freelander is likely one of the best on the market when considering its overall condition, drivability, and comprehensive service history. It's a well-presented, fun, and economical 4x4, perfect for a first car, a summer of adventure, or a reliable everyday vehicle. This car truly has it all.
