Our Verdict
Exercise caution with this 2006 Peugeot 307 given the very limited recent MOT history and high recorded mileage. A thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential before committing to a purchase.
When viewing this Peugeot 307, examine the physical documentation carefully, as the MOT history contains a gap of several years up to the current date in 2026. Check the physical condition of common Peugeot wear points, including the exhaust system, headlamps, and brake discs, which rank among the top MOT failure reasons for this model nationally. Negotiate based on the lack of recent test history and ensure all electrical features, the diesel engine, and transmission operate correctly during a test drive.
Running a 2006 diesel hatchback with a 1560cc engine generally involves moderate fuel economy typical of the era, though maintenance costs can be higher due to the vehicle's advanced age and high mileage. Insurance falls into a standard grouping for mid-sized diesel hatchbacks, while road tax sits in the relevant VED band for 2006 diesel vehicles. Buyers should budget prudently for potential repairs, given that models of this age and mileage frequently require component replacements.
Pay close attention to the items highlighted by the model's national failure statistics: inspect the headlamps for cloudiness or alignment issues, examine the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, and check the brake discs and pads for wear and scoring. Given the 1560cc diesel powertrain, listen for any unusual turbo noises, check for smoke on startup, and inspect the engine bay for fluid leaks. Furthermore, verify the suspension components, steering rack, and tyres for excessive wear given the high mileage recorded.
This red 2006 Peugeot 307 is powered by a 1560cc diesel engine and has a recorded mileage of 143,736 miles as of December 2021. The vehicle's MOT record shows a test failure followed by a pass on the same day in December 2021, with no subsequent test records available in the provided data. With a recorded mileage well above the model aggregate average of 4,806 miles per year, buyers must carefully verify the car's current roadworthiness and maintenance background.
The Peugeot 307 achieves an average MOT pass rate of 67.8% across nearly 57,000 analysed vehicles, with headlamps, exhausts, and brake discs forming the most common failure reasons.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: PEUGEOT 307
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Electric Power Steering (EPAS) Failure(Serious)
The EPAS column can fail on the 307, causing heavy or unassisted steering. This is a dangerous fault that typically occurs without much warning.
- BSI Water Ingress and Electrical Faults(Moderate)
The body control module (BSI) located under the scuttle area is vulnerable to water ingress from blocked pollen filter drains, causing erratic electrics including phantom warning lights, wiper faults and starting problems.
- Head Gasket Failure (1.6 16v)(Serious)
The 1.6 16v petrol engine is known for head gasket failures, leading to coolant loss, overheating and potential engine damage. Prevention through timely coolant changes is key.
- Clutch Slave Cylinder Leak(Moderate)
The concentric clutch slave cylinder can develop internal or external leaks, causing a soft or sinking clutch pedal and eventually making gear changes difficult or impossible.
- ABS Module Failure(Moderate)
The ABS control module can fail, triggering the ABS warning light and disabling the anti-lock braking system. The module can sometimes be repaired rather than requiring full replacement.
