The PEUGEOT 307 (2001-05) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 HDI 136 XSI EU4 is a sporty, three-door hatchback, sitting between runabouts and larger family cars in the UK used market. Its XSI trim and diesel engine give it a more purposeful feel than basic 307 versions while remaining practical for everyday driving. mycarcheck.com has recorded 17 checks across nine distinct VINs, so this is a useful snapshot rather than a large survey. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £800, about 120,000 miles and 9,000 miles a year; cars had averaged roughly five previous keepers, making individual history checks especially worthwhile. The 2.0 HDi is suited to commuters and couples wanting relaxed longer-distance travel, with economy typical of diesel cars, while the three-door layout is less convenient for frequent rear-seat access. Against rivals such as the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, the 307 stands out for comfort and value; condition matters.
