Looking at a 307?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular 307 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the 307 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 260,536 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 16,938 in 2026 Q1, down 93%. That is down 76% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 22,311 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 39,249 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

307 MOT pass rate

In 2024, 48.8% of 26,980 Peugeot 307 MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average.

  • Position Lamps — 10.8% of tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Anti-roll Bars — 8.8% of tests. Worn anti-roll bar links or bushes. Inexpensive but often recurring.
  • Headlamp Aim — 8.4% of tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
  • Headlamps — 7.9% of tests. A headlight fault, from a blown bulb to a failed unit.

Before you buy

  • Position Lamps — 10.8% of tests in 2024. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Anti-roll Bars — 8.8% of tests in 2024. Worn anti-roll bar links or bushes. Inexpensive but often recurring.
  • Headlamp Aim — 8.4% of tests in 2024. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
  • Headlamps — 7.9% of tests in 2024. A headlight fault, from a blown bulb to a failed unit.
  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 39,249 307 vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (22,311 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 93% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 260,536. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual 307 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
