The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 3DR HARDBACK 2.0 TD4 SPORT PREMIUM AUTO5 is a compact, three-door SUV, blending a raised driving position and four-wheel-drive character with a shorter, easier-to-place body. In the UK, it sits among early lifestyle 4x4s, offering a more rugged alternative to ordinary family hatchbacks. mycarcheck.com records 13 checks covering nine different VINs, a modest sample rather than a complete picture. Within those checks, the average private-sale valuation is £1,400 and recorded mileage averages 132,000 miles; average annual use is 3,000 miles. The cars have averaged nearly seven previous keepers, so condition and history deserve careful attention. This TD4 automatic suits drivers wanting a runabout for country lanes, weekend trips and outdoor activities, though three doors make rear-seat access less convenient for families. Compared with Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, the Freelander stands out for Land Rover styling and off-road appeal; buy on condition, not badge alone.
