The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 5DR SUV 2.0D DI is a five-door diesel compact SUV, part of the model that helped bring Land Rover’s off-road image to a more accessible size. In the UK used-car market, it sits between ordinary family hatchbacks and larger, more costly four-wheel-drive vehicles, with a practical, upright shape. Mycarcheck.com has recorded only five look-ups, covering five different VINs, so these figures are a small snapshot rather than a guide to every Freelander. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £500, mileage of 126,000 and 3,000 miles driven annually; vehicles averaged 6.6 previous keepers. Check each car’s history and condition carefully, as age and ownership vary. It suits families and drivers wanting space for country trips or rougher lanes, rather than a city runabout. Its diesel character and Land Rover image distinguish it from Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V rivals, but age makes upkeep important today.
