The PEUGEOT 308 (2011-14) 5DR SW 1.6 E-HDI DPF SS 112 EU5 SR 6SPD is a five-door estate, rather than a hatchback, offering extra load space in a practical family-sized package. In the UK used-car market, it sits among sensible compact estates, balancing everyday comfort with useful carrying capacity. Its 1.6-litre diesel engine and six-speed manual suit regular commuting and longer journeys, while the estate body makes it handy for family holidays, shopping and hobbies. It is best for drivers needing room and economy over sporty performance. Against Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra estates, the 308 is a comfortable, understated alternative with a practical cabin. mycarcheck.com recorded 65 checks across 49 different VINs in its data.
