The PEUGEOT 307 (2001-05) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 16V XSI AC is a compact family hatchback with a sportier edge. Its three-door body looks sleeker than the more practical five-door 307, while XSI trim and the 2.0-litre petrol engine make it livelier than basic versions. In the UK used-car market, it competes with mainstream alternatives such as the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf. mycarcheck.com records 39 look-ups covering 33 distinct VINs, a useful but modest sample. Across these checks, the average private-sale valuation was £500, average recorded mileage was 100,000 miles and annual mileage was 4,000. Cars had nearly five previous keepers on average. These figures describe checked vehicles, not a guarantee of any individual car’s value or condition. Its three doors suit couples and commuters more than families needing easy rear access; air conditioning and stronger performance add appeal, though age and history deserve checking before buying.
