Price range
P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
Down payment
MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
Availability
High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

Brand reliability
Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
Resale strength
100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
Peer set
Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
Quadrants
The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Volkswagen Sharan — 2nd gen 7N (2010-2022)

Verdict

Long-lived 7-seater MPV on the VW Group platform — 1.4 TSI EA211 + 2.0 TSI EA888 + 2.0 TDI engines with the standard VW Group concerns. Same EA888 oil-consumption + DSG fluid discipline pattern as the rest of the MQB / PQ-platform family. Power sliding doors are the universal MPV wear item — cycle both at viewing. Sister car SEAT Alhambra is mechanically identical. SG market sees these as family / chauffeur use; PHV exposure for high-mileage cars adds the standard wear pattern.

What's good

  • 2.0 TSI EA888 with documented DSG fluid + oil services — same Tiguan AD1 / Golf Mk7 / Passat B8 service formula. The two receipts (DSG 60k km + oil ≤10k km) materially de-risk the most-recurring failure modes.
  • Both power sliding doors cycling smoothly + silent at viewing — the single best 5-minute filter on any MPV. Door motor / ratchet-switch is the most-failure-prone item on this body style; smooth operation is the durability signal.

What to watch

  • Sliding-door slow / noisy / failing to latch — same Honda Odyssey RC / Toyota Alphard AH30 wear pattern across all MPVs. Per-side repair S$1.5-2k locally; walk unless heavily discounted with quote in hand.
  • EA888 Sharan burning a litre of oil between services — same Gen3 piston-ring sealing pattern. The MPV body + family loads + chauffeur use accelerate the symptom; multiple top-ups means ring-pack work on the horizon.

Common questions about the Volkswagen Sharan

How much does a used Volkswagen Sharan cost in Singapore?
Most used Volkswagen Sharan on the market are around 9 years old, asking roughly S$38k–S$50k (typically about S$44k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.
How much does a used Volkswagen Sharan depreciate per year?
A used Volkswagen Sharan loses value at a fairly steady pace — around 30% a year — with no real plateau. An older one costs less but keeps falling at much the same rate, so there's no single 'bargain age': buy on price and condition, not on timing.
Is the Volkswagen Sharan reliable?
In our read, the Volkswagen Sharan scores 65 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.
What should I expect to pay for a used Volkswagen Sharan with a given mileage?
It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.
Where do these Volkswagen Sharan figures come from?
They're worked out from current used-Volkswagen Sharan listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.
