Our Verdict
Proceed with caution as this 307 shows significantly higher mileage than the fleet average. While the most recent MOT was clean, the vehicle's age and high usage suggest a thorough mechanical inspection is essential.
When viewing this KU06-registered, your first priority should be verifying the service history. Given the 117,000+ mile mark, you must confirm if the timing belt has been replaced, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine. Check for any signs of oil leaks, which can be common on high-mileage Peugeot units of this era.
Pay close attention to the interior and suspension. At this mileage, components are often nearing the end of their functional life. Negotiate based on the fact that this car has been driven significantly more than the average 20-year-old Peugeot, which impacts its long-term value proposition compared to lower-mileage examples.
The 2000cc engine will offer moderate fuel economy, likely averaging around 30-35 MPG depending on driving conditions. Tax will likely fall into a mid-range band, and insurance groups are generally affordable as it is an older, petrol-based hatchback.
Maintenance costs may be unpredictable due to the mileage. You should budget for regular replacements of brake discs and exhausts, which are statistically common failure points for the 307 fleet. We estimate an annual running cost of approximately £1,200-£1,500 depending on your usage and repair needs.
Focus your inspection on the underside and exhaust system; aggregate data shows the exhaust is a top failure reason for this model. Look for excessive rust or thinning metal. Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity, as these are identified as frequent MOT failures across the 307 range.
Test the suspension for knocks or knocks, as the 117k mile reading increases the likelihood of worn shocks and bushings. Since the last recorded MOT in 2022 had no defects, ask the seller for any advisories received since that date to ensure no new issues have developed in the intervening years.
This 2006 Peugeot 307 has covered over 117,576 miles, which is substantially higher than the typical average of 4,822 miles per year for this model. Although it passed its April 2022 MOT with no defects recorded, the overall fleet MOT pass rate for this model is low at 67.7%. The 2.0L petrol engine is a robust choice, but the high mileage indicates potential wear on aging components.
The Peugeot 307 has a lower-than-average MOT pass rate, with common issues related to lighting, exhausts, and brakes.

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.
