The AUDI A6 (2008-11) 5DR AVANT 2.7 TDI CR DPF EU5 190 SE MTRON AUTO is a premium five-door estate rather than an SUV or hatchback. It sits in the executive-car class, offering a practical alternative to a saloon, with a useful load area and spacious cabin for journeys. With its diesel engine, automatic gearbox and estate practicality, it suits families, users and motorway commuters needing space without moving to an SUV. It is best for buyers who value relaxed long-distance travel and carrying luggage, rather than city parking or low running costs; its size and age deserve consideration. mycarcheck.com has recorded 53 checks covering 18 cars, a sample with an average private-sale value of £3,000. Examples average 155,000 miles, 7,000 miles a year and about two to three previous keepers. Against BMW 5 Series Touring and Mercedes-Benz E-Class estates, the A6 is known for comfort and space.
