I must say that I prefer these videos when you finish the 'story' off rather than just leave it hanging 😊😊
I’d like to see it. Clean and sold
Story of my life!
@@bdeithrick it’s still running passed with an advisory on a tyre
@@itswais77 how you know
Love the fact you go on about electrical issues with the 308 and you drive a Range Rover!
I have had a peugeot 207 for nearly 7 years. Was a neglected example. The only electrical problem it has ever had is an airbag light, which goes out when you wiggle the wires under the seat. I reckon a peugeot 308 is a safer bet than a vw golf which would be a rot box at that age and full of niggling faults.
@@RichardRichard-k5y I used to have a 207. It was a used tampon on wheels. A mate used to have a 308. I’d rather have genital warts.
@@RichardRichard-k5y I drive a Jag now. It’s better in literally every way. Moral of the story, don’t buy shit cars
@williamjohnson7707 why did you buy a jaguar then? 🤣 It's a very expensive Ford or Tata if it's a post take over model. Some of the diesels are actually Peugeot engines.

@@RichardRichard-k5y yes I’m sure most people would agree it’s a step down from a French peasants pice of shit. It’s not an expensive Ford, they just use Ford window switches so that they, what’s the word, work. Which can’t be said for the Peugeot electronics. And yes some of the diesels were made by Peugeot, which is why they’re not very good. Fortunately I have the 3.0 V6 petrol that was originally designed by Porsche, which is why it is extremely good. Still, who am I to say that you’ve got a crap car, my apologies. Enjoy your Peugeot 207 😂
I actually prefer your budget purchases the most. More relatable to more people
As a British ex-Pat who has lived virtually all his adult life in Australia I never realised how detailed the M.O.T. was until I started watching your fantastic videos. In Australia we have a rego (registration) check which takes five minutes and seems to consist of checking your lights and indicators work, checking that the tyres aren’t bald and a quick spin to check the performance of the brakes. Literally takes five minutes at most!
The M.O.T. seems so much better and picks up any potential future problems with the car that buyers can see a record of.
In WA we don't even have that. 😆 Nothing at all. It is only if something is so blatantly wrong with your car that the cops pull you over that it will be condemned as unroadworthy. I got my WA rego car serviced in the Northern Territory while on a road trip once and the mechanic asked me what the hell was up with WA cars as he had had to deal with Western Australians bringing in all sorts of death traps over the years.

UK MOT system is very good on picking up very small details,some can & some may not even pick up on a slight lip on the brake discs.
@@person.X. 😝😝😝
Depends where take a car for MOT. I've got two garages I use, one is a chain garage where they will pick a car apart looking for business, which is handy if I want a car really scrutinised. They find the faults, I fix em. Allegedly, my other garage is allegedly a one man band who would pass a burning Punto with no advisories if you need him to (allegedly). Very handy for getting a shit heap car from A to B to be worked on without a flatbed transport
@Dean Clatworthy that's why we service our cars EVERY YEAR.
My mechanic swears by Peugeots. Generally they don’t rust so can make a canny second hand purchase. I drove a 20 year old Peugeot 206 recently and was quite taken with it. Lovely pillowy ride quality after my BMW!!
I didn't think I would ever own a french car and knew people with renaults have constant issues but I went for a cheap but nice condition 206 turbo diesel for cheap and just £30 to tax. It's got comfy seats, nice ride and handling, not the best performance, gear change or build quality but it's been a solid cheap reliable car to own and quite surprised by it ( and by the pl the original 17 year old cambelt on it too when I replaced it myself)
I know plenty of mechanics who swear at peugeots
@@philtowle4683 😂
French diesels are generally bulletproof! Not so much the ones developed with Ford such as the 1.4-1.6 HDi. The PSA 2.0 HDi and older 1.9 XUD engines are unstoppable
Have the 3008 and never a problem with it very good car
“I am basically a mechanic” 😂😂 great video as always Matt. I’m keen to see more French bargains on the channel. I’m fascinated by their hit or miss reputation. Cheers
Two Frenchies in close succession was marvellous
There was a bottle of whiskey and a £20 more left on the drivers seat when that went in for its last mot 😂
Haha yes I think so!
@@HighPeakAutos 4 rerun tyres, spray and a good valet. I use to go Silverdale Car Auctions on a Saturday. Bought the odd one. Close now due to low business. I have bought a Ford Fiesta damaged repairable so keep me busy. Enjoyed the video.

Hi, my wife and I have had 2 307s since we’ve been together for 12 years. She had a 307 2.0 TD back in 2011. It cost us 2,3k and had around 85k ish miles. It served us well until 2016. We did very little in the way of maintenance.
I had a 1.6 307 3dr 54 plate with 130k ish in 2020 for around 570 quid, and again did very little maintenance and it was great. Only got rid of it as I’ve had my wife’s Megane off her when she purchased a new car.
For those on a budget these are good cars.
hi matt, i left a comment on your last video saying hi had a shit day and that your content distracts me from my problems, thanks for replying to that, it left a smile on my face for the rest of my evening. and although nobody asked, i had a better day today.
Pleased to hear it. Onwards and upwards

Stay strong mate!
@@tiagoluna1942 thank you my friend.
I know you are not keen of French stuff but I have to say the one's that I have had performed well and were reliable despite everyone telling me to expect the worst - they always ride comfortably as well.
I had a few French cars. My favourite one bled to death on a leisure centre car park.
French cars do tend to have quite tough and rugged engines, so when maintained they should last well
"it stinks - it smells of straw". Seems you were right about the rural bit Matt. Before you opened the bonnet, I expected a pair of nesting chickens.
My very first car when passing was a Peugeot 308 in this exact colour but only a 1.4, loved watching this even hearing that indicator noise brought back memories (id drive a golf now so different sound) Peugeot have that rep (french) but I always have a soft spot for the 308, I put it through hell and it to me also but dam, what I fine car haha. Would of happily paid you the £500 to take this off your hands, would of treated it as a lil side project :). Keep up the good vids, very enjoyable.
One thing all your videos has made me do Matt is go out and clean my cars again each week. At 76 years of age I had lost interest in the weekly clean. Although my cars were never at the state some of the mobile rubbish bins you get, my wife and grandkids were not looking after the car when they were in it. Enjoyed this video as I have all your videos. Must get the aircon in each car serviced before the Aussie summer hits.
Well worth it, I change my vehicles every four years or so and always get a decent trade in as I keep the inside clean and outside ocasinaly polished, my mileage is low on both vehicles so for a dealer the prep for sale is always be minimal.
As a plus always nicer being in a clean vehicle.
Provided you use the Air con and make sure your cabin filter is clean it really shouldn't be an issue. If you don't use it the shaft seal dries out and leaks the refrigerant. Many garages don't have a clue about repairing it properly.
I own BMW X5, but few months ago I bought 308 1.6 HDi 2012 just for one reason. Driving motorway to work. Over 5000miles done and 4.7l per 60miles. Like 60mpg.
It's cheap to run, road tax 20 a year, cheap insurance, maintenance cheap. I think this car will not be a bad choice long term...
Always a very "cut to the chase" explanation of what to look for in buying a used car. Very simple and a pleasure to watch. Thanks, for the down to earth education. Good Luck with your endeavours.
Love these cheap car videos! This one is excellent as usual! Keep up the great work 👍
I had a 307cc 2.0 diesel for 3years with no problems best car I ever had, now I have a 2016 golf.. My god what a kunt of a car I'm lucky to get one month without an engine light
Love the way you methodically go through the options. Great content 👌 ✌️👍
Nice to see once in a while one that doesn't go swimmingly and makes lots of profit, brings a reality to what you do, and shows people it's a numbers game, some you win some you lose...keep em coming Matt, enjoy watching them and your little quips keep it lightish hearted. 👏
If you have watched his other vids, you'll notice most don't...
I remember one of your very first reviews was a Peugeot RCZ if memory serves me correctly. I owned a 308 GTi in 2010 until 2015 and besides the engine check light that was on 70% of the time, it was quite solid especially in build quality.
I purchased a car just like on that condition,i would strongly ADVISE after a full proper valet & it's all dry out that you do use/spray with the proper Neutradol Super Fresh Odour Destroyer NOT THE CHEAP STUFF,spray in all the air vents,under the seats,under the boot carpet,in the boot itself & of course inside, Leave for at least 6 hrs & use 1/3 of the can. I repeated this process twice so the horrid smell went completely! Use a air freshener aerosol spray too,it'll get rid of that strong Neutradol that's left behind. The owner will eventually smell that horrid stink in no time & no normal air freshener will get rid of it 😆 I've been cleaning cars for a long time,no Magic tree air freshener is gonna hide the horrid hay bale stench. Worth £750 all day fella. Good video once again 👌
I find it amazing that cars like this, which to me still feel fairly new, are so cheap they aren't worth repairing anymore. Sad really.
Even though it's not worth repairing to Matt, that parts needed are only simple wear and tear parts and it would've made a cracking reliable car after a few hundred quid. Personally, whoever bought it for £500 got an absolute steal!
Being Milton Keynes doesn't always signify rental. There are lots of head offices of motor manufacturers and finance compnaies there and they give their staff cars so they have cheap 6 month old vehicles on the road to sell. You will find lots or Mercs and VW Group that have gone through finance, or even the fleet stuff. Not always a bad move to be fair.
Frist thing I do when I get a car is drive it ,look over it ,then MOT it before I spend any money on it . Excellent video again Matt 👍
I had one of these when it was fairly new to do big miles for work. It done 70k in under two years and was a great car. Fairly quiet and really comfy, was amazing on fuel and totally dependable.
I think most were bought as ex hire cars, or nearly new and were much cheaper than a comparable Focus so a lot ended up with neglectful owners.
Leak on injector 3 is prime tell tale sign the turbo is probably going to give way soon, especially due to mileage but I did read injector seals go causing carbon buildup in the oil and makes it’s way to the turbo and blocks the gauze on turbo feed pipe starving the turbo of oil causing premature damage to turbo. Rest of it all seems pretty easy enough work to the right person but paying a garage to do the work would cost a fortune
As Ron Burgundy says, compelling and rich. The 1.6hdi engine is a great engine. Keep up the good work.
He could be in a glass case of emotion
Hey mate the mazda 2 cars are the loveliest cars l have ever bought from new from the car show room and my Mazda 2 is a diesel car and l have found that she is very cheap to run and my car is so lovely to drive and she has never let me down
And the insurance is also a bargain a month
Had a 306 1.9 1997. Great van done 150kmiles bit low light on diesel. Had a 307 after that done 400k kilometers on it.2.0 hdi travelled europe with it. Biggest expense was a clutch at 300k kms . Oh great days. Its still on the road but has since got a gear box. These cars dont like multiple drivers.Very comfy brillant. Moved to toyota. But am returning to pug. In 2023.
Love these videos. My wife's car is a shed, 56 plate Focus with 100k and battle scars. It has just passed an MoT but with loads of advisories, plus an informal one of "Get rid in the next 6 months while it still has some MoT on it". I'll make sure I get is cleaned, plates replaced and a couple of Mats. 75 quid and it might just get us a better return than scrap value when we chop it (looking at a Mk3 1.6 petrol focus titanium or similar for 5k as she likes them and not much else, and it has about 25% more power than the current 1.6).
I recently purchased an 08 Peugeot 308 as a 2nd car for 1.9k had 40k genuine miles.
Loving the car want to replace the stereo unit to car play.
Great video. This has definitely been owned by someone who has a horse. All the signs are there. The brown carpets, hay in boot, animal-y smell, radio 1, nearside scratches. 100% a horse person.
Hopefully your mate makes a few quid off it.
I was half expecting an anti pollution message and a cloud of smoke from the exhaust on start up. That’s what a family member’s does 😂
That e46 cab looked fantastic green, never a colour I would of thought of, plus looks a little bit more special than a regular car with those alpina wheels.
Would be described as very good condition and a bargain at €5000 in Spain
Soon as a car hit 8 years in the uk it’s value seams to nosedive, and there is no real need for that to happen. It’s just that everyone seams to want new cars
I think ‘you’ve lost the plot here’..😂😂❤

Agree. He would of made a few quid if selling it in spain after getting all the work done. Second hand cars are ridiculously priced in the eu at the moment.
@@lazylad8544 yes ..mate I buyed the same 308 like in the video and payed 2500 euros also it got more Mille's these European mentality is so discusting
I love how excited you sound when you've worked out what it needs and you're telling us what you're gonna do to it Matt!! lol
My smoker for the last 5 years has been a 2010 308 1.6 HDI which is currently sitting at well over 200k miles and going like a clock. Every MOT it needs minimal work and it gets serviced every 10k. It gets tramped up and down Ireland going to auction houses to on a regular basis and I am very fond of it. Comfortable, nippy, cheap to run, cheap to fuel and endlessly reliable. Would much prefer it over something horrible like a Mk6 Golf or Toyota Auris…
Golf is in a higher league tho
My Toyota Auris takes no offence.
ah the auris
the start of the corolla family except the 2008 recession hit so it was nowhere near as good as the e12
"horrible like Mk6 Golf. You are driving peugeot, thats even more terrible tbh :P
@@Piotrekx3 Well at least he doesn’t have his engine light on from the first day he bought it xd
Dodie is fantastic. Give it a listen!
Gutted, I had high hopes for that one Matt. Oh well on to the next one!
I usually dont even so much as spit at the car before I bring it for a (Pre) MOT and only when its "good news" I do something...
Congratulations! You are the first person in recorded history that works in the motor trade and can correctly pronounce Sikaflex
You have to be ever the optimist, well done Matt for keeping your face straight 😂 you are a star !!
I had a company car 308 once. It took me to carry fuses and bulbs everywhere. A decent deep puddle blew all the heads lights bulbs and fuses. I will not miss that car..
Great video,it actually looked half decent after a clean,if the numbers don't stack up properly,cut your losses and run, don't blame you 👍👌😀
Glad to see you've returned to more 'back to basics' video production. You're right to keep it simple, if the content's good, it doesn't need polishing.
Peugeots are making beautiful cars right now. The new 308 is the best looking Hatchback on sale right now. Dont know why you would park an E46 in the Winter weather tho 😂
Price for a HDi starts at £30.500...I'd run that 2008 until it died
Wish I could find one like that around here. Do the suspension myself. Be perfect for running around hay to the horses in which I'm guessing is what it's been used for before.
It would be good to get an update video on what you got for these, how long they took to sell etc. You could do a video say every month with all of the recent cars featured that sold and give an update.
Good idea
Agreed!
People rage on about how the 07 and early 08 models had shocking reliability, but had the majority of owners actually looked after their damned cars, Peugeot and Citroen wouldn't be the butt of so many jokes (particularly from people who swear by brands with even worse reliability records). As for this specific car, as usual it's not the cost of parts (usually cheap for French cars) but the labour in sorting things out; given it's had a cambelt change, it would be a shame if somebody wasn't to just put those issues right, though as it's a Euro 4 diesel, it'll be hounded out of clean air zones and possibly put to pasture.
Every car reviewed, the options weighed, the car condemned. This is comedy gold.
The 308 GT is a real unicorn car, economical, fast and loaded with tech and decent insurance.(2.0 diesel 180)
KN registration doesn't necessarily mean it's an ex rental. It just means it was first registered in Northampton and may have been first privately bought too.
Hopefully not by Bristol Street Peugeot 🤣
Think he just means loads of rentals are registered in that area and have those regs…. Not that it 100% was an ex rental
Good video again Matt!
“Checks to see if there’s no outstanding finance”
Gets distracted “how good does my green E46 convertible look parked up over there”
😂
another great video. I can't help feel that you are destined for greater things.
Great video, Matt, good to see your "here we go again" stuff with French cars, it is amazing how people always buy them. I think you should do a vid about before and after cleaning some of your worst cars and give a big shout-out to those completely unsung heroes the car valet/detailers, they make cars turn from frogs to princes when no one else will do it. Go on...
People buy French cars because they're generally pretty decent, cheap to run, reliable and comfortable.
Well done on not vomiting when you opened the drivers door there Matt!!
Bokk!!
We bought a cheap 3008, it's not brilliant but it does what it's supposed to do, school runs, country lanes, shopping trips and wife's commute, the worst part of it is the oil dip stick, we do fairly regular oil changes and you just can't see the level on the stick, doesn't matter what angle you hold it to the light either, still, I generally leave it to the misses to check whilst I'm cleaning the Jag 😉
its why you should be buying cars over 2k to 3k i think is because they shouldnt have much wrong with them at that price ,been stung a few times myself but learned a couple of lessons ,to many advisorys on that car
Last one! Got a phone call about the 306 1.8 Auto. As advised in advert. ‘We were looking for a 306 for our son’s first car. Really…..we were looking for a 1.4 manual’. She phone back days later. ‘Really we were looking for a 1.4 manual’. ‘What do you want me to do? Change the engine? Gearbox? Would you like a full respray in a colour of his choice as well? 😂

Well I have had a 308 diesel for 4yrs without any problems, and its been faultless changed the oil every 4000 miles change the cam belt at 50000 the grip I have it as not got good suspension bit solid and loud over bumps but it as served me well and zips along when Turbo is in action I know I need a Range Rover but just out my range now, I know there French and cheaply built but I have loved it.
im pretty sure thats the 90bhp engine by the shape of the turbo, the 110(which I have) has a noticibally bigger turbo
I had a Peugeot 306 TD 3 door, great looking car, nice colour and went round corners beautifully. That was it - everything else was hateful!!! Door seals leaked every time it rained or I washed it, even after getting them replaced. The engine was loud, clattery, smelly, leaky and not that fast. Something fell off it every time I drove it. The stereo was pants.
I complained to my work colleagues every day about how bad it was and one of them asked if he could buy it off me?! I said YES PLEASE, but warned him how crap it was. He had it 2 months and the engine blew up, shoved a crank shaft threw the engine block on the motorway. I dodged a bullet but bad for my friend but did try to warn them.
I've just bought one of these for my first car with 65k on the clock. Having a good time so far
Great video, i love these cars for nostalgic reasons. Would be great to see you do a video with a 1.6 thp gti one
My mate has had one for years same spec been really reliable. Couple electrical gremlins but generally bean very good.
I skip all matt's videos to 5 or 6 minutes to avoid the car vertical punishment and just enjoy the video I have now seen that 800000000000 times on all channels I could probably do a car vertical search with my eyes closed

Thanks mat great channel Richard look forward to seeing them soon take care
Do like the 308 to work on. Heater core is generally a job not doing. However on a 308 it's located in a little hatch on the pax side.
The myth of French cars being unreliable is exactly that. I've got a 2015 308 with the infamous 1.6THP 'Prince' engine and it is an absolutely superb vehicle. Smooth, comfortable, reliable and a sense of luxury (with the panoramic roof, alcantara seating, massage function etc) for an affordable price. Bought it used for a great price, love it and will likely run it til it dies.
The 1.4 and 1.6 diesel engine are junk long term. The turbo oil seals leak, the copper washer injector seals leak. Not easy to work on, plastic crap everywhere. They use those cheap plastic oil filters. A real diesel should do well over 180k miles without maintenence. But they are more or less paperweight after 10 years. Stick with 90's japanese cars that last 20-35 years.
@@TB1M1 nah I’m happy with my petrol 308. Looking at potentially buying a diesel Peugeot or Citroen van too. They are excellent vehicles and reliable.
@@bigchief2331 Im sure petrol are great. The turbo diesels are drive great until about 75k-100k miles. But that is far too short a life.
@@TB1M1 Ok thanks I will keep that in mind. How about 2.0 diesel is it better? I’ve seen them with 300,000+km on them. Lots of owners told me PSA diesels are the best around and good for huge mileage. Maybe they mean 2.0..
@@bigchief2331 I have no idea, but if its a turbo regular oil changes are important.
Ya lot complaining about french cars. Yes their petrol engines are not the most reliable but that's because BMW designed them. VTI and THP. Their diesel engines are still one of the bests on the market. The only thing that goes wrong with them is like most modern diesel cars - ADBLUE. I have my 3rd peugeot now (1.4 petrol 207 73bhp, 208 1.4 hdi and now 308 mk2 1.6ehdi) and I honestly can tell you how much more reliable and cheaper to run theses cars are compared to my friends BMW, MERC, AUDI (so the holy trinity of cars).
All cars have their bad sides, you can buy brand new s class coupe (for 300k) and have problems with it - I recommend searching about it on youtube.
rough with the smooth, prob why we watch you... not afraid to admit defeat occasionally. we are human after all. enjoyed that
You do a thorough and detailed check and cost on your vehicles. Its refreshing to watch👍. Keep up with the wit and sarcasm it makes the videos entertaining. Looking forward to the next one all ready.
The last MOT should have given you a clue . Plus somebody was trying to give up smoking
that 308 still looks modern nowadays ! Peugeot design is great!
Had two Citroens and a 308. All worked perfectly and only reluctantly moved on. Never had a problem with them - VW on the other hand......
I have my worst car experience with a 308SW, looking back at my children with smoke surrounding them, pulling over and getting the family out. Thankfully it didn’t go up in flames. The car had developed a wiring issues that caused the smoke. I got rid of it
Well compared to some of the other tat you've got recently on the channel, this one wasn't that bad. I understand your decision since it would have taken some time to do and a quick sale is preferred. Although I don't like the 308, this one was pretty solid but in need of a suspension overhaul, a set of tyres and some minor bodywork. The engine related bits don't sound too complicated, I've removed the front part of the heatshield without even touching the DPF and if it's loose, probably just missing a bolt or two holding it on so didn't need to be removed and the injector seals aren't too bad to do. But overall as you said, assuming a £600 spend on top of the £500 already in the car would have put at £1100 for a car that could have sold for £1500-1750 I think. Once again, all best and look forward to the next ropey car haha.
It was worth £750 all day,good choice to shift it quick thou.
I'd put that on at £1,500 all day long once sorted.
You jumped at the right moment must of been a pilot ❤
Was slightly surprised by your initial optimism 😯 but a great watch as always....very informative and entertaining channel....👍
Matt, I love how you judge the owner based on radio station. Lol. I'm a millennial, born '82, and listen to R2 mostly. I don't think I could stand more than a few minutes of R1, it's awful.
Brings back some memories, years ago I had a lot of 307’s then 308’s as rental cars through work. One 308 I remember, I was the first renter, it had about 20 miles on it when I collected it. I reversed out of the underground garage at work and tore the rubbing strip clean off the door….I tried to fix it back but had broken off most of the clips. It sort of looked ok until you slammed the door too hard, the the whole thing fell off. Dropped it off at the end of the rental out of hours, never heard another thing 😂
The state of the boot tells a lot/everything how rhe car has been treated. What an absolute mess inside this one, really brave you're still get in it and drive it 😅
Like you said the 306 was still a proper car. After that it went down hill pretty fast.
Nearside and offside front roll bars? The whole concept of an anti-roll bar is that it is one bar that connects two otherwise independent suspension units to impede rolling. Still, not bad that the roll bar only broke into two pieces after transporting all those horses in the passenger seats through the smelly countryside. C'est la vie. [Suggest that the advisory concerns drop links.]
In the mid 90's my old boss had a D reg orange Peugeot Pickup with over 1.2 million miles on the clock. The body was rotten and bits of it would come off in my hand, but the engine purred like a kitten.
Up north in the rain (what a surprise) 😂 , and a frog motor to boot !
It wasn’t really going to end well 😂
I bought a bmw 740 from a police Auction its had been stopped by Tpack ,it was a mess every wing but i wanted the interior and wheels wich is now on my car .And behind the battery in the boot stuffed rite down was a carrier bag ,my sister pulled it out and Kerching , ,,,, grand in the bag .ours now .
Had one of these as a pool car at my job. Nobody else wanted to drive it but I found it to be an ok car. Bit heavy on the steering but kept on going nothing special but a good work horse.
They sell well, because they're actually a very good dependable cheap to run and well built car.
Your right about the market moving into the sub 3k market especially good mpg vehicles plus hybrid and electric will also see a strong demand as the energy prices never go down.
Ahh the 308... my family had one years ago and we loved it, never left us stranded and was very reliable. We sold it years ago to a family friend and last time i talked to him it had close to 600.000kms on it. It was a petrol engine
Was it a 1.4 or 1.6?

Looks like a winner Matt. Might be worth doing that paintwork if your mechanics don't find anything nasty and unexpected. Aircon is vital in the winter months too due to it's demisting properties. Number plates from "Harrods". The Harrods eh Matt? 😂👍
Edit:
Opps! I should really learn to watch to the end before posting 🤔😂
CSI. The owner removed the ashtrays to dispose of all their old spliff ends, cleaned them up and just lobbed them back in the car before trading in
Collected a focus with basically new evergreens on all corners. They were the worst tyres I’ve ever driven on, so hard they were sliding on shallow bends at 30. Had them replaced asap
Peugeots seem to go best with Michelin or Pirelli tyres.
Hi Matt
I love watching your video on your px cars they are honist and helpful, and I can't help thinking that whoever prices your part exchanges knows his stuff
Great video thanks

The biggest problem with french cars is the people who buy them. When maintained as per manufacturers instructions they do last.
It is nearly 20 years since they stopped selling the Peugeot 206 and they are still everywhere, and still passing the annual vehicle test, despite some them being over a quarter of Century old.
Nice. Like what you've done. It's a beauty.
Love your enthusiasm matt I would have been away home after first look lol. Good luck 👍
Oh man i was not expecting this - i am searching for one and cant find non wrecked one bellow 4000 EUR, the last one i found nearby was 3960 EUR and it looks like it was scratched by cats 24/7. Also that 1.6 HDI was probably either 90 or 109HP if anybody cares.
What a shed! I hope you give your local car wash guys a huge Christmas bonus. They must love AND hate you 😂
