VOLKSWAGEN PHAETON (2003-10) 4DR SALOON 4MOTION 3.0 V6 TDI CR DPF 240 5SEAT LWB

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The VOLKSWAGEN PHAETON (2003-10) 4DR SALOON 4MOTION 3.0 V6 TDI CR DPF 240 5SEAT LWB is a large, long-wheelbase luxury saloon, rather than a mainstream family hatchback or SUV. In the UK it sits among premium executive cars, offering understated Volkswagen styling with space and comfort aimed at high-end travel.

With a 3.0-litre diesel engine, four-wheel drive and seating for five, this Phaeton suits long-distance commuters, business users and families wanting a quiet, roomy car for motorway journeys. Its appeal is the relaxed, substantial feel and discreet presentation; compared with a BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Audi A8, it is a less obvious, often more individual choice.

mycarcheck.com recorded 20 checks across 11 different VINs, so this is useful context rather than a large sample. The checks show average mileage of 135,000 and 5.4 previous keepers; average private-sale valuation was £4,500. Condition and history deserve close attention before purchase.
