The TATA SAFARI (2000-07) 5DR ESTATE 1.9D is a large, five-door diesel estate with the chunky, high-riding character of an early SUV. In the UK used-car market it sits as an uncommon, budget-minded alternative to established family 4x4s, offering a more practical, rugged image than a conventional estate. mycarcheck.com has recorded just 12 look-ups covering nine distinct VINs, so these figures are a small snapshot rather than a firm guide to every Safari. Within that sample, the average private-sale valuation is £500, average recorded mileage is 73,000, and owners had averaged 2.25 previous keepers. Typical annual mileage was 8,000. The Safari suits buyers wanting a vehicle for family trips, country driving or carrying gear, rather than a commuting bargain. Its diesel engine and raised stance give it go-anywhere appeal, while rarity sets it apart from rivals such as the Land Rover Freelander. At this age, check condition and history carefully.
