Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 5DR SUV 1.8 ES is a compact five-door 4x4, placing it among the early wave of family-friendly SUVs in the UK. Unlike a conventional hatchback, it offers a higher driving position, useful cabin space and extra confidence on rough tracks, while remaining manageable for everyday errands.
Mycarcheck.com recorded 23 look-ups covering 11 different VINs, so this is a modest sample. Checks show an average private-sale value of £800, average recorded mileage of 184,000 and annual mileage of 4,000. The average keeper count is just over six, suggesting many examples have changed hands; check each car’s history and condition carefully.
Best for buyers wanting a roomy older SUV for family trips or country weekends, the 1.8 ES brings upright styling and four-wheel drive, rivaling the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. Economy is modest, and careful checks matter most: age-related repairs can outweigh its low price.
