Known faults for Peugeot 307
Our database tracks 5 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Below Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.

Our Verdict
A reasonable budget option with impressively low mileage, but requires a thorough mechanical check. The MOT history shows a pattern of neglecting basic maintenance, particularly tyres and steering components.
Focus your negotiation on the current state of the tyres and steering components. The most recent MOT (May 2025) left several advisories regarding discoloured indicators and a worn offside front tyre, which should be addressed immediately. Check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical for the 2.0L engine and are not tracked via MOT data.
Verify that the steering rack has been fully serviced. The vehicle has a recurring history of steering rack gaiter issues (failures in 2020 and 2024, and an advisory in 2025), which can lead to expensive rack replacements if dirt and water ingress occurs. Ensure all electrical components, specifically the headlamps and indicators, are functioning correctly given the history of lighting failures.
The 2.0L petrol engine is not the most economical choice in the 307 range, with higher fuel consumption and road tax than the smaller engine variants. Insurance is generally affordable as the 307 sits in a mid-range group, but maintenance costs can spike if the Peugeot-specific electronics or suspension components fail.
Expect higher-than-average fuel costs for a city car, but lower annual depreciation given the vehicle's age. Typical annual costs will be driven by the need for regular tyre replacements and basic servicing to prevent the 'major' MOT failures seen in this car's history.
Prioritise a detailed inspection of the tyres and suspension. The MOT history shows a chronic issue with tyre wear and cuts (notably a major failure in April 2025 and multiple advisories since 2018), suggesting potential alignment issues or poor driving habits. Check the tread depth and sidewalls of all four tyres.
Inspect the steering rack boots and anti-roll bar linkages. With repeated failures and advisories regarding the steering rack gaiters (2020, 2023, 2024, and 2025), you must ensure the boots are currently intact and not leaking grease. Finally, check the brake discs for pitting or scoring, as this was a recurring advisory between 2018 and 2020.
This 2007 black Peugeot 307 2.0L petrol has covered just 70,118 miles, which is significantly lower than average for its age. While the low mileage is attractive, the MOT history reveals frequent failures for basic wear-and-tear items, including tyres, bulbs, and steering rack gaiters. It is a functional vehicle, but the history suggests a 'fix-on-fail' approach to maintenance rather than proactive care.
The Peugeot 307 is generally known for comfortable ride quality, though older petrol models can suffer from electrical glitches and suspension wear.

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.
