Have been looking for a cheap Freelander 1, and it seems all of the cheap.ones are in really bad shape.
today I saw one with 400.000km/248.000 miles and it drove well, didn't smoke, pulled fine, no strange noises or vibrations, no water inside, etc. Engine had no oil leaks, no pressure on coolant hoses, only the coolant level was at the minimum mark.
Supposedly this Freelander has been well taken care of, and it does look like it did, and I enjoyed driving it (only did urban driving), but I wonder: how much is too much for the di engine? Would it still reach 500k Kms? Will it die in 5k Kms?

Should it buy it?! It costs 1000 euro less than a 250k km Freelander in similar shape

 

400,000 is a lot of kms, As is 250,000.
Without proper maintenance on all aspects I’d fear its very near eol.

 

Considering the high mileage of the Freelander 1 you're interested in, it's natural to have concerns about its durability. While proper maintenance plays a crucial role, it's challenging to predict exactly how long the engine will last. To gain more clarity, I recommend consulting a trusted mechanic in Colorado Springs, such as Windshield Chip Repair Colorado Springs. They can assess the vehicle's condition thoroughly.
