The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 5DR SUV 2.0 TD4 ES-X AUTO5 is a five-door compact 4x4, offering a higher driving position and useful cabin space in a package than Land Rover’s larger Discovery. Its diesel engine and automatic gearbox suit drivers seeking an easy-going, practical older SUV rather than a city car. In the UK used-car market, the Freelander competes with compact 4x4s such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, standing out for its Land Rover identity and rugged image. The ES-X specification and automatic transmission add comfort-focused appeal, while five doors make it practical for family errands, weekends away and country-road travel. mycarcheck.com records two look-ups covering one VIN, so figures are a small snapshot: recorded mileage averages 161,000, previous keepers five, and private-sale valuation £1,000. Check each car’s history and condition carefully; this classic may suit value-minded buyers comfortable with an older vehicle.
