The MITSUBISHI GALANT (1997-03) 5DR ESTATE 2.5 V6 24V SPORT is a roomy family estate from an era when practical load-luggers competed with the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra. Its long roof and useful boot offer more versatility than a saloon, while its V6 engine and Sport trim add character. mycarcheck.com has four look-ups covering two VINs, so these figures are a small snapshot, not a guide to every car. Within that sample, average private-sale valuation was £300, recorded mileage 138,000 miles and annual mileage 5,000. Cars averaged six previous keepers, making a careful history check worthwhile before purchase, too. Best suited to buyers wanting space and longer-distance travel, rather than the lowest running costs or a commuter. The 2.5-litre V6 gives the Galant a smoother, livelier feel than rival estates, though age and fuel use matter. Check condition, service history and parts availability; its uncommon character is the appeal.
