The PEUGEOT 308 (2007-11) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 HDI 136 FAP SPORT is a five-door family hatchback, sitting in the UK’s competitive compact-car class alongside models such as the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. Its practical shape offers everyday space without the bulk of an SUV, making it a sensible used-car choice. The 2.0-litre diesel gives this Sport version strong, relaxed performance for motorway journeys, while its five doors and generous boot suit commuting, shopping and family duties. It is best for drivers covering regular longer trips who want an affordable, comfortable hatchback; lower-mileage urban users may find a smaller petrol car more suitable. mycarcheck.com records 70 look-ups across 52 different VINs; the cars checked averaged 118,000 miles, 8,000 miles a year and about 4.6 previous keepers. An average private-sale valuation of £1,000 makes condition and history especially important. Compared with Focus and Golf rivals, the 308 offers comfort and value.
