The VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG (2018-23) 5DR SUV 4MOTION 3.0 V6 TDI 286 DPFR SS EU6 SEL TECH TIP AUTO8 is a large, premium five-door SUV, sitting above Volkswagen’s Tiguan and competing with the BMW X5, Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90. Its raised driving position, spacious cabin and four-wheel drive make it a substantial alternative to a family estate or smaller SUV. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 122 checks across 67 distinct VINs, a worthwhile sample of buyer research. Checked cars averaged 53,000 miles, with 12,000 miles driven yearly; the average private-sale valuation was £34,800.

With its strong diesel engine, automatic gearbox and comfortable SEL Tech trim, it suits families, commuters and drivers who tow regularly. It feels more luxurious and capable than mainstream SUVs, though running costs may be higher; compare condition, history and mileage before buying.
