The SUBARU LEGACY (1998-07) is a large family car, sold mainly as an estate or a traditional saloon. In the UK it sits in the same used-car space as the Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat and Toyota Avensis, offering a less common alternative for buyers who value all-weather ability. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 3,363 checks across 1,317 different VINs, giving a snapshot of this Subaru. Checked cars average about £600 in private-sale value and 125,000 miles, with annual use around 5,000 miles; the average keeper count is 4.4. These figures describe cars checked, not a guarantee of condition or price. The Legacy suits families, regular commuters and drivers needing a roomy load area, especially those who travel in changeable weather. Subaru’s all-wheel drive and confident road feel set it apart from many front-wheel-drive rivals. It is a niche, ageing choice rather than a bargain modern runabout, so check service history and condition carefully.
