Freelander TD4 with 66k valuation please.

Hi everyone,
I’m new to the forum and would like some valuation please. I have been a long-time owner of a 2006 Freelander TD4 Auto (Freestyle).
It’s finished in black with half leather heated front seats, original 6-CD changer, tow bar, and comes with the logbook and 3 keys, including the red master key.

We’ve owned it since 2011 and it’s been an incredibly reliable car. The only real issue we ever had was a MAF sensor replacement back in 2013. Other than that, it’s been smooth sailing.
It’s only done 66,000 miles from new, and previous MOT history is very clean except for a brake pipe advisory in 2023, which we had replaced and it did pass MOT after.
New two year ago meant we need 7 seater and Freelander became less used. Last year I didn’t renew road tax or MOT, as you know road tax for such car is very high.
The car has been not in use a part from frequent engine running every few months,
MOT expired on 22nd February 2024 and it hasn’t been driven in over a year, as we moved to a 7-seater after having our fourth child.
It’s got originally alloy wheels and General grabbier tyres which only done 4k on them.
It has always been well cared for, not abused, and stored safely. I was originally planning to break it for parts, but I now realise this model with such low mileage might be of interest to someone looking to restore or keep one alive.
I’d love to hear your thoughts about valuation and asking g price please, I never sold any car before either expired MOT.
Thanks for your help.

Is it 3 or 5 doors

The tax bracket is the Achilles Heal I would say. Everything else sounds good. A quick Auto Trader search shows six examples with less than 70k miles on ranging from £2650 to £5000 although only two of those are TD4s, and I can't imagine many people spending £5k on an FL1 (yet)....

I would say that it would be worth recommisioning and chucking it in for MOT and seeing where you're at. I would imagine if there are no major fails it would be worth more selling it as a runner with MOT than breaking it and scrapping whatever you have left, assuming it's as good as you say.

The trouble is that any Freelander is going to cost the new owner. My sister has one of these, previously used by her daughter, and it took me quite a while to iron out faults that had stacked up and about which i had not been informed until it became undriveable (nice).

Has it had a clutch change and new VCU? To put it in context i picked up my current Freelander 2003 manual for £800 with a brand new clutch and new VCU - the reason I bought it. That was four years ago.

Yours is a much nicer car in every way but I'd be surprised if you get more than 2 - 2.5k for it. Especially when you factor in the cost of taxing it.

Worth about £500 as it stands, it will need to be recommissioned and who knows how much that will cost.

Also where it is in the country makes a difference to the value, and the time of year it's up for sale. Freelanders tend to get more money in winter, and less in summer.

Thanks guys, may be I need to recommission it before sale, but it has to wait as I got few things to sort first.
