The 2006 Peugeot 307 S HDi has a first-time MOT pass rate of 66%, which is 14 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a meaningful reliability concern for a vehicle now nearly two decades old. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so safety isn't the issue; instead, owners face an average of 0.77 failures per test, suggesting wear-related problems rather than fundamental design flaws.
At a median mileage of 129,798 miles, these cars have done moderate to high mileage for their age, which partly explains the higher failure rate. If you're considering one, budget for typical repair costs around MOT time and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the engine bay and exhaust systems—the vehicles that pass do so reliably, but the ones that fail tend to need work.
The 2006 Peugeot 307 S HDI passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (81.1%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
These stats describe 586 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
