The PEUGEOT 308 (2007-11) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 THP 140 SE AUTO4 is a five-door family hatchback, offering a middle ground between smaller city cars and larger family cars. In the UK used-car market, it competes with models such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra, appealing to drivers who want space without an SUV’s size. With a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine and automatic transmission, this SE version should suit commuters and small families seeking easy, relaxed driving. Its roomy cabin and useful boot make school runs, shopping and longer journeys manageable, while the 140-horsepower engine gives it more lively response than many family hatchbacks. Compared with rivals, it blends comfort and performance in a familiar, compact package. mycarcheck.com recorded 140 look-ups across 31 VINs; checked examples averaged 84,000 miles, around 5,000 miles annually, and 6.6 previous keepers.
