Will depend on frame size (eg 19 inch). But it's steel so heavier than most and 'entry level'.

Amazon lists it as 15.4 kg: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Freespirit-Tracker-18sp-Gents-Mountain/dp/B01DA92ML2
It'll be heavy.
What's your budget as I'm sure there are far, far better bikes than this at not much more. Carrera's range is OK for this price point.

May I suggest you have a look at this sub-forum (to which I asked the mods to move your thread). I think there'll be more 'knowledge' there than from the few who choose to look and offer an answer to the Q: best MTB for £200.
I suggest you need to think what surfaces you are mostly going to use your new bike on. Nearly all MTBs will come with a suspension fork (whether they need it or not) and also knobbly tyres (which are a bit of a pain if you're mostly going to be on tarmac).
@DCLane has suggested the Carrera range (think Halfords) so I'd go and have a look online and in store, and in your local bike shop (LBS). Finally much better value for money is likely a second hand one, and again some LBS have a few outside (mine does). Also if you get in touch with your local cycle club, you may find one of the members has a bike for sale.
I'd hope to get an alloy (ie aluminium alloy) as opposed to steel frame, 3 x 7 or 3 x 8 gears, and trigger shifters (ie not twist grip).
I assumed you wouldn't get disc brakes at that price point but this one has: m-trax-by-raleigh-graben-29-er-mens-mountain-bike but 17kg! (how do they manage to make it that heavy?) This is not a recommendation for this bike.
