Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but consider this a relatively clean example for its age. While the single recorded MOT pass is positive, the significant gap in recent history requires thorough physical inspection.
Since the last recorded MOT was in December 2021, your first priority should be to check if the vehicle has a current, valid MOT. If it has not been tested recently, you should request a fresh MOT before committing to the purchase to ensure no new issues have arisen regarding the exhaust or braking systems.
When inspecting this 1.6L petrol model, check the service history for oil changes, as high mileage can impact engine longevity. Given the model's aggregate data, pay close attention to the condition of the headlamps and the exhaust system, as these are common failure points for the Peugeot 307 across the wider fleet.
Running costs for this 1587cc petrol Peugeot 307 are generally moderate. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style and maintenance, but as a 2004 petrol model, it should fall into a standard insurance group and tax band for its era.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for common wear-and-tear items. Based on the aggregate data for this model, you should anticipate potential costs related to brake discs and exhaust components during your ownership.
Begin by inspecting the headlamps for clarity and brightness, as 'headlamp' is a top failure reason for this model. Check the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion or excessive noise, which aligns with the common failure patterns identified in the aggregate data.
Additionally, examine the brake discs and pads. Since 'brake disc' is a frequent cause of MOT failure for the Peugeot 307, ensure there is no significant scoring or uneven wear. Finally, verify the vehicle's current MOT status, as the provided data only covers up to late 2021.
This 2004 Peugeot 307, finished in grey, shows a single recorded MOT pass in December 2021 at 92,476 miles with no defects. Given the vehicle is over 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 92,476 is notably higher than the model average of 4,822 miles per year. The lack of recent MOT data since late 2021 is a primary factor to address before purchase.
The Peugeot 307 has an average MOT pass rate of 67.7% across the 56,793 vehicles analysed, with headlamps, exhausts, and brake discs being the most frequent failure points.

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.
