The PEUGEOT 308 (2011-14) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 E-HDI DPF SS 112 EU5 SR EGC AUTO6 is a family-sized five-door hatchback in the UK’s mainstream compact-car class. It offers more room and versatility than a small city car, while remaining easier to park and manage than a larger family car. Its automatic gearbox suits relaxed everyday driving. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 40 checks across 24 distinct VINs, a snapshot of interest in this model. Checked cars averaged £2,900 in private-sale value and 100,000 miles, with annual mileage around 7,000 and approximately 2.8 previous keepers. This points to a practical used choice, but each car’s history and condition matter. The 1.6-litre diesel and stop-start feature suit drivers covering journeys who want fewer fuel stops, while five doors make it handy for couples or small families. Against Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf hatchbacks, the 308 offers a sensible alternative; check the automatic’s operation and service history before buying.
