The PEUGEOT 306 (1997-02) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0I XSI AC is a five-door petrol family hatchback from the popular compact-car class. Its XSi badge signals a sportier character than everyday 306 trims, while air conditioning and rear doors add comfort and practicality. In the UK market, it sits between small hatchbacks and larger family cars. Across 11 mycarcheck.com checks covering eight distinct VINs, the recorded cars averaged 129,000 miles and 3,000 miles yearly. The checks also show an average of about 6.5 previous keepers, a useful reminder to review each car’s history carefully. These figures describe this small sample, not every surviving 306. The average private-sale valuation in these checks was £100. With its lively engine, the 306 XSi suits drivers seeking a hatchback for commuting, errands or family duties. Sportier than rivals of its era, it can be rewarding, but age, condition and maintenance matter: check its history and inspect.
