The PEUGEOT 308 (2011-14) 5DR SW 1.6 THP 156 EU5 ACTIVE 6SPD is a five-door estate, giving families useful boot space without the bulk of a large car. It sits in the affordable used family-car market, alongside estate versions of the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. Its 156-horsepower turbocharged petrol engine gives it brisk, flexible performance, while the six-speed manual suits drivers who enjoy an involved feel behind the wheel. The Active trim aims for everyday comfort and convenience, making this 308 SW a sensible choice for school runs, regular commuting, family trips and longer journeys. Mycarcheck.com records are a small snapshot: three checks covered two VINs, so they cannot establish reliability or pricing trends. Within that sample, average private-sale value was £3,200, recorded mileage 58,000, and annual mileage 3,000; cars averaged fewer than one previous keeper. These figures offer a reference, not a guaranteed price or ownership history.
