Quick summary

The Peugeot 307 from 2001 has a higher overall defect rate compared to the average car of the same year, with 429 defects per 100 vehicles, which is 16% more than the average of 369. A notable concern for this model is its performance in the "Lights & Electrics" category, where it shows a significantly higher rate of defects than average, at 169 defects per 100 vehicles, compared to the average of 88. Additionally, its defect rate in "Equipment" is also worse than average, reflecting a higher incidence of issues in these areas. Mileage-related trends indicate that defect rates increase with age and mileage, particularly in the 124,000+ miles category, where the Peugeot 307 shows 570 defects per 100 vehicles. Overall, while tyre wear is commonly noted, the 307's specific issues are more pronounced in electrical and equipment failures.
