The SUBARU B9 TRIBECA (2006-09) 5DR ESTATE 3.0 SE7 7 SEAT AUTO5 is a large, premium-leaning family SUV, despite “estate” in its description. With three rows and seven seats, it offered a distinctive alternative to mainstream people carriers and rivals such as the Volvo XC90 and Land Rover Discovery. Its automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive suit varied journeys and weather. mycarcheck.com has recorded 207 look-ups covering 85 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot, though not a complete picture of every car. Checks show an average private-sale value of £2,000, average latest recorded mileage of 122,000 miles and around 6,000 miles driven annually. The average keeper count is about 3.7. The Tribeca is best suited to families needing passenger space, comfort and traction, rather than low running costs: its 3.0-litre engine can use more fuel than smaller family SUVs. Its styling and cabin make the Subaru seven-seater an uncommon used-car choice.
