The PEUGEOT 307 (2001-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 HDI 90 RAPIER is a practical five-door family hatchback from Peugeot’s popular small-car range. Its diesel engine and roomy cabin make it a sensible alternative to contemporary Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf models, offering everyday usability without the size or running costs of a larger car. Mycarcheck.com records 209 look-ups covering 156 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of cars checked rather than every 307 on the road. Those records show an average most-recent mileage of 143,000 and annual mileage of 6,000; the average recorded number of previous keepers is about five. Average private-sale valuation is £400, though condition and history matter greatly. The Rapier suits budget-conscious commuters or small families needing passenger space and a roomy boot. Its relaxed diesel character can suit longer trips, while its age and mileage make a careful history and condition check worthwhile before buying.
