The MERCEDES-BENZ R CLASS (2006-10) R280 5DR SPORT TOURER 3.0 CDI 190 SE 7G-T AUTO is a premium diesel family car, part people-carrier and part SUV, with a raised stance and room for up to seven. In the UK it is an uncommon alternative to conventional MPVs and SUVs. These checks suggest a comfortable cruiser for larger families, motorway users or anyone wanting flexible passenger space. Its automatic gearbox, diesel character and generous cabin feel more luxurious than practical rivals, though its size and running costs may not suit city driving or budget motoring. Across 69 mycarcheck.com look-ups and 16 VINs, average recorded mileage was 161,000 miles, with annual use of 6,000 miles and about six previous keepers. Average private-sale valuation was £2,800, an observed figure, not a guaranteed price. Unlike BMW X5 and Volvo XC90 rivals, the R-Class blends SUV presence with people-carrier practicality; check its condition and history carefully.
