In the UK, it belongs to the executive estate class today, alongside the BMW 5 Series Touring and Mercedes-Benz E-Class estate. Mycarcheck.com checks show 89 look-ups covering 55 different VINs, giving a snapshot of this model. The average private-sale valuation recorded is £1,300, while average recorded mileage is 172,000 miles and annual mileage is 7,000.
