The VOLKSWAGEN SHARAN (2000-10) 5DR MPV 2.8I V6 SPORT AUTO 7-SEAT is a large, seven-seat family MPV, designed to carry people and luggage more comfortably than a typical hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among practical people-carriers such as the Ford Galaxy and SEAT Alhambra, rather than SUVs. Mycarcheck.com has recorded just two checks for this model description, covering one VIN, so the figures are a small snapshot, not a reliable market-wide guide. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,200, recorded mileage of 67,000, annual mileage of 9,000 and three previous keepers on average. The 2.8-litre V6 and automatic gearbox give this Sharan a smoother, stronger feel than family vans, but fuel costs are likely higher than smaller-engined alternatives. It suits larger families, shared school runs and long trips, with seven seats and a spacious, adaptable cabin its main attractions in this MPV class.
