I know loads of people who have run Freelander 2s without issue, often in a farming environment where they are used offroad and towing. They do maintain them well though. Search any brand and you'll be able to find horror stories because people generally post about problems, not to report that everything is fine. If it has been well looked after, a car with a known history can be a real gem. Lots of Ford parts on this vehicle including the engine and chassis. Haldex is a Swedish company that have parts in all sorts of AWD vehicles. If it looks to be in good nick, go for it.
I did a search on auto trader and you're looking at near enough £2 grand off the usual asking price. I've driven land rovers all my life and never been left stranded. None have been money pits. At times it feels like the only car that gets recommended on here is a Honda Jazz..
