The PEUGEOT 306 (1997-02) 2DR CONVERTIBLE 1.6 16V SE AUTO is a compact four-seat cabriolet for open-air motoring. In the UK, it is an affordable used drop-top, rather than a family SUV or estate, and its automatic gearbox suits relaxed town and leisure trips. It brings elegant French styling too. mycarcheck.com records just three look-ups covering one distinct VIN, so these figures are a small snapshot, not a broad market measure. They show an average recorded mileage of 79,000 miles, around 3,000 miles a year, and roughly five previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation in this small sample was £300. It stands apart from 306 hatchbacks with its folding roof and graceful styling; the automatic favours easy cruising over spirited driving. Against small rivals like the Ford Escort Cabriolet, it offers a similar sunny-day feel. Best for couples or enthusiasts seeking character, it is less suited to practical family duties.
