The VOLKSWAGEN PHAETON (2010-15) 4DR SALOON 4MOTION 3.0 V6 TDI CR DPF 240 TIP AUTO6 LWB is a luxury saloon positioned above everyday family Volkswagens and aimed at executive-car buyers. Its long-wheelbase body prioritises rear-seat room, while four-wheel drive and automatic transmission make it relaxed and assured for long trips. Across 11 mycarcheck.com look-ups, eight distinct VINs were seen, a modest sample. Records indicate an average private-sale valuation of £8,700, mileage of 110,000 and annual use of 4,000 miles; cars averaged 2.2 previous keepers. Treat these figures as useful context, not a valuation or guarantee. This Phaeton suits drivers seeking quiet, comfortable long-distance travel, generous passenger space and a discreet alternative to better-known German luxury saloons. Its 3.0-litre diesel is well suited to steady cruising, while the car’s size and upkeep costs make it less ideal for tight urban parking or budget motoring. Check service history and condition carefully before buying.
