The SUBARU LEGACY (1998-07) 5DR SPORTS TOURER 2.0I RE is a practical five-door estate, aimed at buyers wanting more load space than a family hatchback without moving to an SUV. In the UK used-car market, it is now an older, relatively uncommon choice, offering a roomy alternative to mainstream estate cars. mycarcheck.com recorded 153 look-ups covering 78 distinct VINs, giving a helpful snapshot of cars checked. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £600 and average recorded mileage of 135,000; typical annual mileage was 6,000, with about four previous keepers. These are observed figures, not a guarantee for any individual car. Subaru’s all-wheel-drive reputation and the Legacy’s steady road manners appeal to drivers wanting reassuring grip, particularly in poor weather. The estate body suits families, dog owners and anyone carrying bulky items. Compared with common rivals, it is a less usual, sure-footed choice; check condition and likely fuel costs carefully.
