The PEUGEOT 306 (1997-02) 2DR CONVERTIBLE 1.6 AUTO is a small, four-seat open-top car, rather than a hatchback or family SUV. It brings the familiar 306’s compact dimensions to a stylish convertible body, with an automatic gearbox that can make relaxed town driving easier. Today, it sits in the UK’s older, affordable classic-convertible niche. mycarcheck.com has recorded just four look-ups across two distinct VINs, so its figures are a small snapshot, not a broad market guide. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £300, average recorded mileage of 72,000 miles and annual mileage of 1,000 miles, plus three previous keepers on average. This Peugeot 306 convertible suits occasional sunny-day trips or as a distinctive second car, rather than maximum family practicality. Open-air motoring and an automatic distinguish it from small hatchbacks; rivals included Ford Escort and Volkswagen Golf convertibles. Check condition carefully: age matters more than mileage alone in this older model.
