Our Verdict
A sensible choice for a budget-conscious buyer looking for a low-maintenance petrol hatchback. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing without recorded defects.
When viewing this 1.6L petrol 307, check for any signs of wear in the interior and ensure all electrical components are functioning, as these are common areas for older French hatchbacks. Although the MOT history shows no defects, always verify that the service history is documented to complement the clean MOT record.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOTs have been passed, 108,026 miles is significant for a 2007 vehicle. Look for evidence of recent cambelt changes or suspension work, as these are standard maintenance items for a car of this age and distance.
The 1587cc petrol engine is generally economical for urban driving, though fuel costs will depend on your annual mileage. As a 2007 model, tax bands and insurance groups are typically lower than modern equivalents, making it an affordable option for newer drivers.
Maintenance costs for a Peugeot 307 are generally moderate due to the wide availability of parts. Expect typical wear-and-tear costs for consumables like tyres and brake pads, though the model aggregate data suggests headlamps and exhausts are common replacement items across the wider fleet.
Given the model aggregate data for the Peugeot 307, you should pay close attention to the headlamps, exhaust system, and brake discs, as these are the most frequent failure points for this model. Even though this specific vehicle has had no recorded failures, these components are prone to wear.
Check the underside of the car for any signs of corrosion and inspect the brake pads and discs for even wear. Additionally, test the headlights and indicators to ensure they are functioning correctly, as headlamp issues are a top failure reason for this model type.
This 2007 Peugeot 307, finished in red, has covered 108,026 miles since its first registration in November 2007. The MOT history for this specific vehicle is notably clean, with the last four tests passed without any recorded defects. While the mileage is higher than the model aggregate average of 4,806 miles per year, the lack of recent failures is a positive indicator for this particular unit.
The Peugeot 307 has an average MOT pass rate of 67.8% across the 56,890 vehicles analysed, with common failures involving headlamps, exhausts, and brake discs.

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.
