The MERCEDES-BENZ R CLASS (2006-10) R280 5DR SPORT TOURER 3.0 CDI 190 SPORT 7G-T AUTO is a large premium people-carrier with SUV-like presence, rather than a conventional estate or family hatchback. In the UK, it occupies a niche between luxury MPVs and roomy SUVs, offering space and Mercedes comfort. It suits larger families, long-distance travellers and anyone wanting flexible seating and a refined drive. Mycarcheck.com recorded 63 checks across 26 VINs. The average private-sale value was £3,500, while recorded mileage averaged 125,000, making condition and maintenance important. These figures offer context, not a firm price prediction. Its smooth diesel engine and automatic gearbox suit motorway journeys, while Sport trim gives the distinctive tourer a purposeful look. Less common than the BMW X5 or Audi Q7, it favours passenger space over off-road ability. Checks indicate 6,000 miles annually and around 5.5 previous keepers, so a complete service history is worth seeking.
