The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 5DR SUV 2.0 TD4 GS is a five-door, diesel compact SUV, offering a raised driving position and more room than a typical hatchback. It helped bring Land Rover’s off-road image to everyday UK motoring, sitting between family cars and larger, more expensive 4x4s for buyers. Mycarcheck.com has logged 516 checks across 254 different VINs, a substantial sample for this older model. In those records, average private-sale valuation is £800, average recorded mileage is 141,000, and annual mileage is 5,000. Cars averaged nearly seven previous keepers, so check each vehicle’s history and condition carefully before buying. The TD4 GS suits family use, commuting and countryside trips, offering SUV versatility and a reassuring presence. Its Land Rover badge and go-anywhere character distinguish it from mainstream rivals such as the Honda CR-V. As an older used Freelander, condition and maintenance matter: inspect carefully and check the service history.
