Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise checking the steering rack; 'play in steering rack inner joints' has been noted in the MOT records in 2022 and 2025, suggesting a long-term issue. You should also verify if the brake discs have been replaced recently, as they have been flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in every test from 2024 through to April 2026.
Ask for evidence of any suspension work, specifically regarding the anti-roll bar linkage mentioned in 2024. Given the repeated mentions of inner edge tyre wear in 2022 and 2025, ensure the wheel alignment has been corrected to prevent premature tyre replacement costs.
The 1587cc petrol engine offers moderate fuel economy, though it will be less efficient than modern equivalents. Tax and insurance groups for the 2006 307 are typically low, making it an affordable entry-level vehicle in terms of fixed costs.
However, maintenance costs may be higher than average for this specific car. The MOT history indicates a trend of recurring wear on braking components and steering joints, which suggests a need for a dedicated maintenance budget for suspension and brake renewals.
Carefully inspect the steering and suspension. The MOT history specifically highlights play in the steering rack inner joints on both sides, which is a significant point of wear for this vehicle. Check for any knocks or vibrations during a test drive.
Examine the brake discs and pads. The records show a persistent issue with discs being worn or pitted from 2024 to 2026. Additionally, check the exhaust mountings and the horn, both of which were reasons for the MOT failure in February 2025, to ensure they have been properly repaired rather than temporarily patched.
This grey 2006 Peugeot 307 has recorded 87,660 miles. Its MOT history is mixed, featuring a failure in February 2025 due to exhaust, tyre, and steering issues, and recurring advisories for worn brake discs across multiple years. It is a low-mileage example of a model with a below-average aggregate pass rate.
The Peugeot 307 has a relatively low average MOT pass rate of 67.6% based on an analysis of 57,303 vehicles.

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.
