The PEUGEOT 307 (2001-05) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 16V S AC is a compact family hatchback from Peugeot’s popular early-2000s range. Its three-door body gives it a sportier look, while manageable dimensions suit town driving. It competed with mainstream favourites such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra in UK showrooms. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 23 checks covering 21 different VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. Those records show an average private-sale value of £500 and mileage of 97,000; typical annual use is 7,000 miles. With about four previous keepers on average, check each car’s history and condition carefully. The 1.4-litre petrol engine and air conditioning suit commuting, errands or a first car, especially for drivers who value simple controls over extra space. Rear-seat access is less convenient than in five-door rivals, but the 307 offers a comfortable ride and useful hatchback versatility for everyday journeys across the UK.
