Car statistics
How many Peugeot 307s are still on the road in Great Britain, how many are declared off the road, how new registrations have changed and which fuels they use. Built from DVLA licensing records and 21,624 DVSA MOT tests.
There were 16,416 Peugeot 307s licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 20,290 declared off the road (SORN). That is 94.5% fewer than the peak of 300,143 in 2009.
Numbers peaked in 2009 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.

In 2025, 49.4% of Peugeot 307 MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Peugeot 307s tested pass 59.2% of the time, so the Peugeot 307 does worse than average for its age, by 9.8 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 48.8%.
Comparing like with like: each bar pair covers cars of the same age, so an older average age does not count against a model.

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment is the most common reason a Peugeot 307 fails its MOT, appearing on 59.3% of failed tests. A failed test can have defects in more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%. 11.3% of Peugeot 307 tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

The single most common reason a Peugeot 307 failed its MOT in 2025 was “Position lamp: not working”, on 19.2% of 10,950 failed tests. 76.4% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Tread depth: worn close to legal limit or worn on edge”. The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

DVSA lists 24 safety recalls for the Peugeot 307 since 1992, the first in 2002. The most recent was launched on 16 December 2010.
All 24 Peugeot 307 recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Peugeot 307. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
