LAND ROVER FREELANDER Common

As of 2026 Q1, 128,677 LAND ROVER FREELANDERs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 218,090 in 2014 Q3 — only 59% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 89,413 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 8,133 a year (6.3% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2037 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.
