It offers an approachable, roomy alternative to rivals such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra, making everyday transport its main appeal. Mycarcheck.com checks provide a useful snapshot of used examples: 57 look-ups covered 49 distinct VINs, a healthy sample for this age of car. The average recorded mileage was 127,000, with about 6,000 miles added annually, while cars had averaged just over four previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £300.

Its modest engine is best for local trips, while hatchback design makes this PEUGEOT 307 an affordable alternative to Focus and Astra models.
