The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 3DR HARDBACK 2.0 TD4 FREESTYLE is a compact three-door SUV for drivers seeking a raised view and more confidence on rough roads than a conventional hatchback. It brought Land Rover’s outdoorsy image to the UK’s growing small-SUV market, with a practical, distinctive alternative to ordinary family cars. mycarcheck.com checks have logged 164 lookups covering 110 distinct VINs, a helpful sample for this older model. The average private-sale valuation is £1,500. Checked examples averaged 118,000 miles and 6,000 miles a year, with 4.6 previous keepers on average. These are broad snapshots, not a price or condition promise for any car. It suits couples or small households who value a compact footprint, plus weekend explorers needing rough-road ability, though rear access is less convenient than in a five-door SUV. The diesel’s pulling power and rugged character distinguish it from road-focused hatchbacks; check service history and condition carefully.
