The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 5DR SUV 2.0 TD4 MAASAI MARA is a five-door compact 4x4, offering a higher driving position and more useful cabin space than a typical family hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable, older small SUVs, appealing to buyers wanting Land Rover character and occasional all-weather ability without a large off-roader. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 23 look-ups across 17 different VINs, a modest sample rather than a complete picture. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £700, average latest recorded mileage of 120,000 miles and annual use of about 7,000 miles. Vehicles averaged nearly five previous keepers, so check each car’s history, condition and maintenance carefully. Its diesel and practical layout suit families, rural drivers and budget-minded buyers needing an everyday car. Against compact rivals, it offers distinctive Land Rover style and an adventurous feel, though age, condition and running costs deserve attention.
