The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 3DR SOFTBACK 2.0 TD4 HSE AUTO5 is a compact, three-door SUV combining rough-road ability with a distinctive soft-top rear section. In the UK market, it offered a more adventurous alternative to ordinary family hatchbacks and a smaller Land Rover than the larger Discovery model overall. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 19 look-ups covering 12 distinct VINs, so the sample is limited rather than a broad survey. Across those checks, the average private-sale valuation was £1,800, average recorded mileage was 123,000 miles, and annual mileage averaged 6,000. Vehicles averaged 4.7 previous keepers; individual cars can differ considerably. This Freelander suits drivers seeking a practical runabout or weekend vehicle, though its three-door layout is less convenient for families. HSE comfort, automatic ease and diesel power suit journeys. Against the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, it offers Land Rover character and off-road confidence; check history and condition on older examples.
