A 307 and not a 308?
The 308 came out in 2008.

1.6 or 2.0?

Mcfud

Nope 307 for sure 1.6 diesel car/van

colm_mcm

Ok, well that's why they're rare anyway.

FYI, they registered 1 307 car in 2010, and 9 vans.

Mcfud

Ah well i like different, rare is even better, also has very low milage yippee!

colm_mcm

They are regarded as junk though. Tread carefully.

Mcfud

Oh dear can you expand on the "regarded as junk" bit or is that a generalisation of all 307

They weren't really a great car when they were new. They suffered from typical associated French electrical problems at the time. The 1.6 HDi engine doesn't have a reputation for reliability, it's patchy at best. Being a 307 then it's probably got the older version of the 1.6 HDi in either 90bhp or 110bhp which are less reliable than the newer 95bhp/115bhp versions found in thes 308. They are a gamble in my view.

I had a 1.4 hdi in 2002 and clocked up well over 100k miles with zero problems. It was a very comfortable and spacious motor also.

The 1.4 was replaced by the 1.6 though and isn’t as good.

I have a 2007 307 Sw and it is a a brilliant motor 1.6 diesel, never had a problem, yes the electrics can be a bit manic every now and again but to be honest it's usually caused by a need to replace the lights arm on the steering rather than trying to find a wire short somewhere, also had that problem with my Citreon van as it got older
