The SUBARU LEGACY (1998-07) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 GL AUTO4 is a large, practical estate car: an older alternative to mainstream family estates such as the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. Its automatic gearbox and roomy load area suit everyday family duties, shopping and holidays, rather than city-car driving. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 10 look-ups across five different VINs, so its figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide. They show an average recorded mileage of 109,000 miles, around 7,000 miles a year, and 3.7 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation is £200, an unusually low figure worth checking against the car’s condition and history. Known for Subaru’s sure-footed all-wheel-drive character, the Legacy estate can feel reassuring on wet or rough UK roads, while its automatic makes relaxed progress. It is best for buyers wanting useful space and distinctive engineering; expect older-car running costs and inspect carefully before buying.
