The PROTON GEN-2 (2004-16) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 110 GSX LE is a compact five-door hatchback positioned as an affordable alternative to family cars such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. Its manageable size suits town driving, while rear doors and a boot make it more versatile than a small city car. The 1.6-litre petrol engine and GSX LE trim make this a choice for commuters, couples or first-time buyers seeking an inexpensive used car. It can serve as family transport, although shoppers should check condition, equipment and parts availability carefully, as Proton is less common in the UK than its rivals. mycarcheck.com has recorded five checks covering three distinct VINs, so the figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide. They show an average private-sale valuation of £400, 68,000 miles and 2.2 previous keepers; recorded annual mileage averages 12,000. For buyers, a history check and inspection matter.
