My 306 meridian has been in the family since its birth in 1996. It was an ex demonstrator and I can honestly say it has been the most reliable car any one of us has owned. It has never broken down (touch wood). The exhaust has only been replaced once in its life. Having said that my local peugeot garage is excellent (more than I can say for Vauxhall) and the car has been regularly serviced. By this I mean a full service at least once a year. The only fault it has had ,that has been a niggle, rather than an annoyance, is the pin which prevents the drivers door swinging back has popped out twice.
The central locking has recently stopped working on the drivers door, but due to the age of the car I'm not surprised. It has over 114000 miles on the clock and still manages over 35 to the gallon (1.6 cc). Unfortunately due to the mileage and general wear and tear of the car will are looking to exchange it soon, but I would cheerfully replace it with another much newer model if they existed.
Other reviews have mention the tyres. I haven't experience that problem, but then I buy middle of the price tyres which might have some baring on it. The seats are still in excellent condition as is the exterior paintwork. The security is via a key code having to be entered before turning the engine over.
It's lovely to drive, holds the road well, had pretty good street cred. (or so my teenage neice tells me) and is a dream to park.
