The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 3DR HARDBACK 2.0 TD4 SE AUTO5 is a compact, three-door SUV, offering a more upright, go-anywhere feel than an ordinary family hatchback. In the UK used market, it sits among early practical 4x4s, combining Land Rover character with a size that remains manageable around town. Mycarcheck.com records 53 look-ups covering 30 different VINs, a useful snapshot, not a full survey. These checks show an average private-sale value of £1,400 and average mileage of 116,000 miles; annual use averages about 6,000 miles. The average keeper count is 5.6, so check each car’s history and condition carefully. With automatic gearbox and diesel engine, this Freelander suits buyers seeking an SUV with higher seating; its three-door layout is less convenient for families needing rear-seat access. Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are rivals, but it stands out for its Land Rover image and off-road heritage, so inspect condition carefully.
