The PEUGEOT 308 (2011-14) 5DR SW 1.6 E-HDI DPF SS 115 EU5 ACCESS 6SPD is a five-door compact estate for family use. It has more luggage room than a hatchback yet is easier to manage than a large estate or SUV. Its diesel engine and six-speed gearbox suit commuting and longer journeys. mycarcheck.com records 28 look-ups covering 21 different VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a complete picture of every car. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £3,000 and average recorded mileage of 111,000 miles; annual mileage averages 13,000, with about 1.4 previous keepers. That profile suits families, commuters and weekend travellers needing carrying room and economical diesel running. Against Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra estates, the 308 SW is a sensible, understated alternative, with a comfortable drive rather than sporty character. Check service history, condition and emissions equipment before buying, particularly at this mileage, when viewing one.
