Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
When viewing this Peugeot 307, your primary focus should be on verifying the current MOT status and ensuring any issues that led to the 2022 failure have been rectified. Because the 2022 MOT failure recorded no specific defects, you must ask the seller for documentation proving what the failure was and how it was repaired.
Request a full service history to supplement the MOT data. For a 1.4L petrol engine of this age, check for evidence of regular oil changes and timing belt replacements. Given the model's aggregate data suggests headlamps, exhausts, and brake discs are common failure points, inspect these components specifically during your test drive.
As a 1360cc petrol engine, this 307 typically falls into a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it relatively affordable for older hatchback owners. Fuel economy will be standard for a mid-2000s petrol engine of this size.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age can be unpredictable. While parts for Peugeot models are widely available, you should budget for more frequent repairs to consumables like brake discs and exhaust components, which are noted as common failure areas for this model across the wider dataset.
Start by inspecting the lighting system, specifically the headlamps, as this is a top failure reason for this model in our aggregate data. Check the exhaust system for excessive noise, corrosion, or loose mounting points.
Detailed attention should also be paid to the braking system. Look for uneven wear on the brake discs and ensure there is no excessive play in the suspension. Given the 2022 MOT failure, check the underside of the car for any signs of recent heavy repair work or ongoing corrosion.
This 2004 Peugeot 307 is a 1.4L petrol model finished in blue, with a recorded mileage of 103,873 miles at its last MOT in April 2022. The vehicle has an MOT history showing a failure in 2022, though no specific defects were listed for that failure. Compared to the model aggregate average annual mileage of 4,806, this vehicle has been driven significantly more than the typical example of this age.
The Peugeot 307 shows a relatively low average MOT pass rate of 67.8% across our analysed fleet, with headlamps, exhausts, and brake discs being the most frequent causes of failure.

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.
