According to Parkers, the 1.8 only came in 3 door. Now this advert seems to be in two minds on whether it's a 2.0 or 1.8, but a DVLA check claims it to be a 1.8.

Btw, it's done 112k miles, not 12k, according to the MOT history, and that history only goes back to 2015, for some reason.

Yep, that's what Parkers says. The seller got back to me to confirm it's a 1.8. I reckon it's either some kind of import, engine conversion, or a sloppy ringer.

I bought a Peugeot 306 1.4L when they first came out and which was actually a 1.6L.
