The VOLKSWAGEN SHARAN (2010-15) 5DR MPV 2.0 TSI 200 SEL DSG AUTO6 is a large, family-focused people carrier, rather than a conventional hatchback or SUV. With seven-seat practicality and sliding rear doors, the Sharan suits school runs, holidays and busy households needing easy access and flexible passenger space. In the UK used-car market, it sits among roomy, comfort-led MPVs, competing with models such as the Ford Galaxy and SEAT Alhambra. This SEL petrol version adds brisk, smooth performance to that practical package, while the DSG automatic makes everyday driving relaxed. Its generous cabin and useful family-friendly design are the main attractions; buyers should expect higher fuel use than from a comparable diesel, especially on frequent short trips. It is best for families prioritising space and convenience. Mycarcheck recorded eight checks across eight cars: average mileage 60,000, annual use 8,000, 1.5 previous keepers and £10,700 private-sale estimate, a small-sample indication, not definitive.
