Petrol against the other Peugeot 307 versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 58.8% | 18,943 |
| Diesel | 56.3% | 10,537 |
| All Peugeot 307 | 57.9% | 29,486 |
Why the fuel type changes the number
Petrol cars avoid the DPF and emissions failures that catch diesels, and usually fail on the same consumables as any other car.
On the Peugeot 307 specifically, petrol is the strongest at 58.8%, and this petrol version sits 0.9 points above the 57.9% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
There is little to choose between fuel types on this model, so decide on running costs and mileage rather than MOT record. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average petrol Peugeot 307 had covered 92,527 miles at test, against 122,298 for the diesel. That is above average, the point where suspension bushes, drop links and exhaust corrosion start showing up as advisories before they become failures.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Peugeot 307 page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
