The VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG (2003-07) 5DR SUV 2.5 TDI DPF SE AUTO is a large, premium-feeling five-door SUV, sitting above ordinary family crossovers in comfort and size. Its raised driving position, roomy cabin and automatic gearbox make it suited to family trips, towing and longer journeys, rather than tight-city commuting or budget motoring. mycarcheck.com records 199 look-ups across 115 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of used-car interest. Checked examples average 132,000 miles, around 6,000 miles a year, and nearly six previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation is £2,400. These figures describe the cars checked, not a guarantee of condition or today's price. As an SE, this Touareg stands out for its comfortable feel and diesel character, while the automatic suits relaxed cruising. It was a more upmarket alternative to SUVs such as the BMW X5 and Land Rover Discovery, but age, fuel use and repair costs deserve checks before buying.
