Hi, Just picked my Freelander TD4 Serengeti Automatic up from MOT station and it failed on
Fuel System Component Leaking Offside Rear (6.1.3)
Any ideas? The mechanis told me it"s probably under the Plastic Cover over the rear wheel.

The low pressure fuel pump and filter are just in front of the OSR wheel. So it'll almost certainly be something to do with the pipes or connectors, pump, filter or sedimenter.

No, but removing the arch liner isn't difficult, being held on by a few skivets and a couple of screws.

My fuel tank leaked when full as the breather pipe had come loose on top of the tank, easy to check by removing the inspection panel under the back seat

As John says above peel back the wheel arch liner to reveal the fuel pump etc.
