The PROTON GEN-2 (2004-16) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.3 95 GLS LE is a compact five-door hatchback aimed at buyers wanting practical everyday transport without the price or size of a family saloon. In the UK market it sits as an uncommon, budget-friendly alternative to familiar small hatchbacks such as the Ford Focus. It can suit commuters, first-time drivers or smaller households seeking a straightforward runabout, while five doors make access and carrying shopping easier than in a three-door city car. Mycarcheck.com recorded 19 look-ups covering 10 distinct VINs, a modest sample; those checks showed an average recorded mileage of 68,000 and just over one previous keeper. The average sale valuation in the checks was £600, with annual mileage averaging 4,000 miles, suggesting examples may see light use, though condition matters. Compared with rivals, the Gen-2 is less familiar and harder to find, but its low-cost hatchback appeal may attract value-focused shoppers.
