The VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON (2017-20) 5DR FASTBACK 2.0 TDI 150 DPFR SS EU6 R LINE 6SPD is a five-door executive fastback: a more stylish alternative to a family saloon, sitting above the Passat in Volkswagen’s UK range. Its sloping roof and R-Line detailing give it a sporty presence without sacrificing practicality. mycarcheck.com recorded 302 look-ups across 140 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot of checked examples. They averaged 50,000 miles, 10,000 miles a year and about 1.2 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £19,600. These figures are not a guaranteed price or a guide to any individual car’s condition. With its roomy cabin, large boot and long-distance ride, this Arteon suits families and commuters wanting comfort, diesel running and something more distinctive than a Ford Mondeo or Skoda Superb. The R-Line adds flair, while the manual gearbox appeals to drivers who prefer control; check service history and condition before buying.
