The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 5DR SUV 2.5 GS AUTO5 is a five-door petrol compact SUV, offering a higher seating position and more practical shape than a conventional family hatchback. In the UK, it brought Land Rover’s off-road image to a smaller, everyday vehicle; the automatic gearbox makes driving relaxed. Mycarcheck.com records 56 look-ups covering 35 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot of interest in this older model. Across those checks, the average most recently recorded mileage was 76,000 miles, while average annual mileage was 2,000. The average keeper count was about four, and the average private-sale valuation was £300; treat this as an indicative figure, since condition and history can strongly affect an individual car’s price. Roomy and suited to small families or rural drivers, the Freelander stands apart from car-like rivals with Land Rover character and all-weather ability. Check condition and history carefully, and budget realistically for running costs.
