The PEUGEOT 306 (1997-02) 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 16V SE AC is a compact, four-seat open-top car rather than a conventional family hatchback. In the UK used market, it is now an older, uncommon choice for drivers wanting affordable summer motoring and classic-car character. Its two doors and folding roof make it more about relaxed weekends than everyday practicality. mycarcheck.com records 77 look-ups covering 39 different VINs, a useful snapshot but a modest sample. Checks show an average recorded mileage of 79,000 miles and around 2,000 miles driven yearly, suggesting many may be lightly used. The average private-sale valuation is £200; treat this as a historic data point, not a guaranteed asking price. Its 2.0-litre engine and open-air appeal suit couples, enthusiasts and second-car buyers more than growing families. Compared with small convertibles of its era, the 306 offers stylish French character and enjoyable drives; check condition and service history carefully.
