The AUDI A6 (1997-04) 5DR AVANT 2.4 V6 170 SPORT MTRON AUTO is a premium five-door estate, known as an Avant, rather than a hatchback or SUV. It offered executive-car comfort with extra luggage space, placing it among larger family wagons competing with estates such as the BMW 5 Series Touring and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. With a smooth 2.4-litre V6 and automatic transmission, this Sport version suits relaxed motorway journeys, regular commuting and family trips, especially for buyers who value a roomy cabin and useful boot over small-car running costs. Its composed ride, understated styling and more substantial feel make it a comfortable alternative to mainstream estates, though age and fuel use deserve consideration. mycarcheck.com records just three checks across three VINs, so figures are a small snapshot: average mileage 149,000, annual mileage 6,000, three previous keepers and estimated private-sale value £900. Use these as context, and check any car's condition carefully.
