The 307 was Peugeot's compact family car from 2001 until the 308 replaced it, and it was named European Car of the Year 2002. It came as a hatchback, the 307 Break and SW estates — the SW with an optional third row of seats — and the 307 CC coupé-cabriolet, with petrol and HDi diesel engines. Most 307s are now well over 15 years old, so a VIN check is an easy way to confirm the accident, ownership, mileage, and recall history before you buy.

Why do 307s have electrical problems?
The 307 uses a multiplexed electrical system controlled by a central body control unit (BSI). Faults in the unit or its wiring can affect several functions at once, so check that the locks, lights, wipers, and windows all work.
Does the 307 SW have seven seats?
Some do — the 307 SW was available with an optional third row of two seats, while the 307 Break was the conventional five-seat estate. Decoding the VIN and checking the equipment confirms which version you're looking at.
