The PROTON GEN-2 (2004-16) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 110 GLS AUTO4 is a compact five-door family hatchback, offering a practical alternative to familiar small and medium-sized UK hatchbacks. Its automatic gearbox may appeal to drivers who prefer easier stop-start motoring, while the 1.6-litre petrol engine gives it a straightforward everyday role. In mycarcheck.com data, four checks covered four different VINs, so the sample is small rather than a broad picture of all Gen-2s. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £600, average recorded mileage of 50,000 miles, annual mileage of 3,000 miles and four previous keepers. Treat these as snapshots, not a price guide or guarantee of condition. The GEN-2’s five doors and automatic convenience suit commuters, first-time buyers or small households seeking affordable everyday transport. Less common than UK rivals including the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra, it merits careful checks of service history, condition and parts availability before buying.
