A pre 2006 Freelander is a disaster. Avoid it.

Unreliable even by Land Rover standards.

With the first generation i.e. pre 2006 the petrol versions were prone to head gasket failure, there were issues with the braking system and typical with Land Rovers from that era, the electricals are prone to fail.

If you want a baby SUV there are better options out there.

The TD4 is capable although a little slow on the highway. As long as you keep up with maintenance then that engine will serve you well.

If you want a baby SUV; Honda, Mazda and Nissan are far better options than a ten year old Freelander.

Esh buda plse lenga Freelander, hio ni shida tupu, an older one is sheer trouble, typical of early 2000s landrovers from RR Sport to Discovery.
