Is the Peugeot 307 ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 39,058 MOT tests, around 35% of Peugeot 307s still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 37% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 28%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 63% petrol, 37% diesel. Every petrol 307 in the data (2001 onwards) is likely to be compliant. Diesel 307s in the data are mostly from years that are unlikely to comply.

How ULEZ rules apply to the 307
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Petrol (63% of 307s tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Diesel (37% of 307s tested): most cars in our data are from years unlikely to comply.

Buying a used Peugeot 307 for London: what the MOT data shows
The Peugeot 307s in this data were first registered between 2001 and 2009. 2007 was the most common year, with 9,981 tests (26% of the total), and half were registered in 2006 or later.
307s from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 49% of the time, at an average of 99,752 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 48% of the time with 102,284 miles on average.
On a budget, the oldest petrol 307s likely to comply are from 2006. 5,787 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 49% of the time and averaged 100,855 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the 307's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (18.1% of tests); body and structure: "constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt" (6.9%); suspension: "ball joint excessively worn" (6.2%). The most frequent advisory was "in such a condition that it is seriously weakened", on 19.9% of tests.
Overall, 48% of 307s passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 102,333 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
