The PEUGEOT 306 (1995-97) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 HDI 90 D TURBO AC is a compact, five-door family hatchback: a practical mainstream choice rather than a city car or SUV. In the UK used-car market, the 306 is remembered as a comfortable, tidy-handling alternative to the Ford Escort and Volkswagen Golf, with a roomy cabin and useful boot for its size. Mycarcheck.com recorded 38 look-ups covering 22 different VINs, enough to offer a useful snapshot but not a large national sample. The vehicles checked averaged 149,000 miles, 13,000 miles a year and just over five previous keepers, suggesting many examples have had long, active working lives. Its recorded average private-sale valuation was £100, an unusually low figure that should be treated as a data point, not a reliable guide to today's asking prices. Its capable diesel turbo suits commuters and small families wanting versatile transport, provided condition and maintenance check out.
