The SUBARU LEGACY (1998-07) OUTBACK 5DR SW 2.5I is a roomy, raised estate that sits between a conventional family wagon and a practical SUV. In the UK it is a relatively unusual alternative to mainstream estates, combining useful boot space with all-wheel drive and extra ground clearance for muddy lanes or winter journeys. Mycarcheck.com records 43 look-ups, covering six distinct VINs, so the sample is modest rather than a broad market picture. Within those checks, average private-sale valuation was £500, average most recent recorded mileage was 153,000, and average annual mileage was 2,000. Cars averaged about 2.9 previous keepers overall. That annual-mileage figure is notable, but reflects cars checked, not every example. The Outback suits families, dog owners and drivers valuing space and rough-road confidence over city-car economy. Compared with a Toyota Avensis or Honda Accord estate, it stands out for all-wheel drive and character, but fuel costs and age-related upkeep merit checking.
