The PEUGEOT 308 (2007-11) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 VTI 95 XL is a practical five-door petrol hatchback, sitting in the UK’s small-family-car class. It offers a useful step up from a city car, with space for everyday passengers and shopping, while remaining more manageable than a larger family saloon or SUV. That makes this 308 well suited to commuting, errands and modest family duties, and to buyers wanting an affordable used car with a proper boot and rear doors. The 1.4-litre, 95hp engine prioritises straightforward everyday driving over brisk performance. Its XL designation identifies the trim level, but equipment can vary by individual car, so check the advert and inspect condition. Mycarcheck.com logged 25 checks, 19 VINs; averages: £900 private-sale valuation, 84,000 miles, 5,000 miles annually and nearly four previous keepers. These figures are snapshots. Against the Focus, Astra and Golf, this 308 is a comfort-minded, affordable alternative for used-car buyers.
