Is this unusual for this model?
| Compared with | What it says |
|---|---|
| Every car in the data | 2.4% of tests record it — this model is 3.6× that share |
| The 291 models compared | 16 of 291, highest first |
| The model's own record | 444,821 tests · every year of the Freelander → |
A share of tests is not a probability for your car: it counts every Land Rover Freelander tested, whatever its mileage, service history and use. The like-for-like comparison on the model page is the fairer number.
