The AUDI A6 (1997-04) 5DR AVANT 2.5 TDI SE 163 is a large, five-door estate car, offering more luggage space than the saloon while remaining comfortable for everyday driving.

Mycarcheck.com records offer a small sample: nine checks across eight VINs, so treat them as context, not a complete market picture. Average private-sale value is £1,600; mileage averages 151,000, with 3,000 miles driven yearly. Cars checked had about five previous keepers, so condition and service history matter when assessing one.

This diesel Avant suits families, commuters and anyone needing long-distance transport with room for shopping or holiday bags. Its 2.5-litre diesel is known for relaxed cruising and useful economy, while the A6’s comfortable cabin feels refined. Compare rivals carefully: age, upkeep and availability can outweigh its premium-badge appeal in practice.
