The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 3DR HARDBACK 2.0 TD4 ADVENTURER is a compact three-door SUV with rugged styling and a raised driving position. In the UK market, it offered Land Rover appeal in a more manageable, accessible package than larger off-roaders, while standing apart from family hatchbacks of its class. mycarcheck.com recorded 541 checks across 292 different VINs, a useful sample of interest in this older model. The average private-sale valuation was £1,400, with average recorded mileage of 118,000 miles and around 5,000 miles driven yearly. Checks also show about five previous keepers on average, so history deserves careful review. Three doors suit couples, solo drivers or households, rather than those needing easy rear-seat access. The diesel and compact footprint suit everyday trips, while Land Rover character makes it more adventurous than many small SUVs. As with any older car, check condition and service records before buying, ideally in person.
