The MERCEDES-BENZ R CLASS (2006-10) R320 5DR SPORT TOURER 3.0 CDI 224 SPORT AUTO7 is a large, premium family car, blending people-carrier space with a raised, SUV-like look. In the UK it sits in a niche: roomier and more unusual than a conventional estate, aimed at buyers wanting comfort and flexibility rather than a compact city runabout for families needing extra room. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 435 checks covering 168 different VINs, giving a snapshot of interest in this less common model. The average private-sale valuation is £4,000, while checked cars average 125,000 miles and 6,000 miles a year. Records show about five previous keepers on average, so condition and history deserve attention. The R320 suits families needing passenger and luggage room for long trips, plus drivers who value a smooth automatic and a distinctive alternative to seven-seat rivals. Its diesel power and spacious, comfortable character stand out, though costs may exceed smaller family cars. Check service history, condition and mileage before buying.
