The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 3DR HARDBACK 2.0 TD4 GS AUTO5 is a compact, three-door SUV from Land Rover, offering a higher driving position and a more rugged alternative to ordinary hatchbacks. Its automatic gearbox and diesel engine suit relaxed everyday driving and longer journeys. Across 24 mycarcheck.com checks covering 18 different VINs, the average private-sale valuation was £600, with average recorded mileage of 154,000 miles. The cars averaged 5,000 miles a year and around 6.4 previous keepers. These figures describe vehicles checked, rather than a guaranteed price or condition. The three-door body suits couples, solo drivers or small households more than families needing frequent rear-seat access. Against compact SUVs of its era, the Freelander is remembered for Land Rover styling and a more rugged feel than ordinary hatchbacks. The diesel automatic makes it appealing for relaxed mixed town and country driving; check service history and condition carefully before buying.
