The MERCEDES-BENZ R CLASS (2006-10) R500 5DR SPORT TOURER 5.0 V8 306 SE AUTO7 is a large premium family car, blending people-carrier space with an SUV-like stance. In the UK, it is a rare, luxurious alternative to an MPV or executive estate, with room for larger families and long journeys. Mycarcheck.com records 44 look-ups covering 14 different VINs, with an average private-sale valuation of £3,500. The cars checked averaged 110,000 miles, around 4,000 miles a year, and 5.5 previous keepers. These figures offer useful context, although a modest sample is not a price guide or a guarantee about any car. Families wanting space and long-distance comfort may find it appealing, while the V8 offers strong, relaxed performance but uses plenty of fuel. Compared with the BMW 5 Series Touring and large MPVs, it is an unusual, plush choice. Check service history, condition and running costs before buying a used R-Class.
