The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 5DR SUV 2.0 TD4 ES PREMIUM AUTO5 is a five-door diesel compact SUV, offering a taller driving position and flexible cabin than a family hatchback. In the UK used market, it appeals to buyers wanting Land Rover character and everyday practicality at an affordable price. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 75 checks covering 46 VINs, giving a snapshot of interest in this older model. Private-sale values average £1,200, with checked examples averaging 124,000 miles and nearly five previous keepers; average annual mileage is 4,000. These figures suggest careful condition and history checks matter more than the badge alone. The automatic TD4 ES Premium suits couples or small families seeking a runabout, weekend escape vehicle or light-duty rural companion, rather than a commuter focused on fuel economy. Its diesel pull, roomy five-door layout and go-anywhere image set it apart from rivals such as the Honda CR-V; age makes an inspection essential.
