The LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 2 (1998-04) 5DR SUV 4.0 V8 ES 7 SEAT is a large, seven-seat 4x4 rather than a hatchback or compact crossover. In the UK used market it appeals to buyers wanting space and go-anywhere ability, with a traditional, upright shape and room for family, friends or kit. mycarcheck.com has 23 checks covering 12 VINs, so it’s a modest sample, not a market-wide picture. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £1,500, mileage of 140,000 and annual use of about 1,000 miles; cars had around six previous keepers on average. Check each vehicle’s history and condition carefully. The 4.0-litre V8 gives the Discovery a relaxed character, while the ES trim and seven-seat layout make it welcoming for family trips compared with rivals. It is best for buyers who value space, towing and off-road confidence over fuel economy and low-cost commuting; at this age, condition and maintenance matter.
