The PEUGEOT 308 (2007-11) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 HDI 110 FAP SE is a practical five-door family hatchback, sitting in the competitive mainstream class alongside the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. Its discreet styling and roomy cabin make it a sensible alternative to larger, costlier family cars, while remaining manageable around town. The 1.6-litre diesel suits commuters and families covering regular longer journeys, offering useful pulling power and the potential for economical running; the SE trim brings everyday comfort without making the car feel complicated. It is best for buyers wanting a versatile daily driver, rather than a tiny city car or a sporty hatch. mycarcheck.com records 479 look-ups across 285 VINs, giving a snapshot of this used model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,000, mileage of 117,000 and nearly four previous keepers. Compared with rivals, the 308 stands out for comfort and value; condition and service history matter.
