Peugeot 307 S HDI (2007)
2007 Peugeot 307 S HDI
CarHunch analysed 520 real MOT records for the 2007 Peugeot 307 S HDI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Peugeot 307 S HDi has a first-time MOT pass rate of 67.4%, which trails the UK average by 12.6 percentage points—a meaningful gap suggesting these diesels are more prone to failure than typical cars of this age. The silver lining is that no vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so while reliability issues are common, they're not safety-critical.
These cars are running at 133,786 miles median, which is moderate for a 17-year-old vehicle, yet they're averaging 0.87 failures per test—the most common issues likely stemming from age-related wear rather than design flaws. If you're considering one, budget for repairs before purchase and have a pre-buy inspection focus on the diesel fuel system and emissions control components, where these models typically struggle.
What to check before buying a 2007 Peugeot 307 S HDI
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
