The AUDI A6 (1997-04) 4DR SALOON 1.9 TDI 130 is a large, four-door executive saloon: a traditional alternative to a hatchback or SUV, aimed at comfort and space rather than city-car affordability. In the UK used market, it sits among older premium family cars, competing with saloons such as the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The 1.9 TDI 130 is known for strong everyday fuel economy and relaxed motorway cruising, making this Audi A6 saloon well suited to commuters, couples and families needing a roomy boot and comfortable long-distance travel. Its restrained styling and solid-feeling cabin give it a more understated character than some rivals, while the diesel engine’s useful pulling power helps it feel at home on busy roads. mycarcheck.com has recorded 15 checks across 12 VINs, so figures are indicative: average private-sale value £800, mileage 148,000 and 11,000 miles yearly, with about four previous keepers in this sample.
