The Freelander brought Land Rover ownership within reach of ordinary South African buyers from the late 1990s. The much-improved Freelander 2 sold well until the Discovery Sport replaced it in 2015. First-generation cars have a poor reliability record and trade very cheaply, while late Freelander 2 diesels remain a common used buy.
