Peugeot 306 Estate (97-02) - Review

Review by Parkers on
The 306 estate makes a good case for itself as a cost-effective and practical solution to everyday family motoring. The load area is a decent size and there's a wide range of engines and trim levels. And as it was launched in 1997, there's a wide range of plates, too, making it affordable to most budgets.

Running costs

Engines are reasonably economical, insurance costs are sensible, as are spares prices and servicing costs. Service intervals were initially short (6000 miles), but extended to 9000 in 1993. All diesels need servicing every 6000 miles. Most models can be picked up cheaply and have done most of their depreciating.
