The PEUGEOT 308 (2007-11) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 HDI 110 FAP XT is a five-door family hatchback, sitting in the UK’s busy compact-car class alongside models such as the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. It offers more space and comfort than a small city car, while remaining easier to park and run than a larger family car. The 1.6-litre HDi diesel is aimed at drivers covering regular commutes and longer journeys, with useful economy and a relaxed, practical character. Its five-door layout suits couples and small families needing everyday passenger and shopping space; it can also work for a first-time buyer seeking a comfortable, versatile used car rather than a tiny runabout. Mycarcheck.com recorded four checks, so these figures are a guide rather than a broad market verdict: average mileage is 83,000, annual use 9,000 miles, and private-sale value £1,100.
