LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 5DR SUV 2.0D XDI
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 5DR SUV 2.0D XDI is a five-door compact 4x4, bringing an upright, practical SUV shape to a UK market then dominated by family hatchbacks and larger off-roaders. Its diesel engine and useful cabin make it a sensible older used-car choice for everyday journeys and weekends.
Freelander suits small families, dog owners and rural commuters seeking a higher driving position, useful space and confidence on rough tracks or in poor weather. Against the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, it is notable for its Land Rover off-road image, though any older example deserves careful checks before buying.
mycarcheck.com checks recorded 42 searches across 30 VINs, a modest sample. Average private-sale value was £500, mileage averaged 140,000 miles, yearly use averaged 5,000 miles, and previous keepers averaged 4.8. Treat these figures as guideposts, not guarantees: inspect the car’s condition, history and mileage pattern before buying in person first.
