How much?

JUST £4,000 gets you into an early, high-mileage Freelander 2. It will typically have done at least 150,000 miles and be a diesel; of the 1,500 used Freelanders we found for sale, just two were petrol.

There’s an even split of manuals and autos, while GS, XS and HSE are the most popular trims. Cap the mileage at 60,000 and you’ll need £8,000 to secure a 2008 TD4 GS; an equivalent HSE costs £2,000 more. For £12,000 you can buy a 10-plate TD4E HSE that’s done 50,000 miles. The most recent 64-plate cars fetch £23,000.
