2001 Peugeot 307 LX review from UK and Ireland
"Don't touch it with a barge pole!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Indicator switch had to be replaced.
Ignition lock replaced (recall)
Driver footwell carpet coming away.
Rear passenger door bump strip replaced (fell off!)
Boot lock replaced.
Boot carpet remoulded to fit rubber seal.
Near side front wheel arch liner replaced.
Front passenger seat back awaiting replacement.
General comments?
Although the car drives pretty well, I guess from the list of faults you can come to the conclusion that it has appalling build quality. After only 5000 miles the car is falling apart. The dealer simply could not give a toss, and is quite happy to see me once every few weeks and get paid for carrying out repairs. This is not an isolated occurrence as I have had other 307 owners, complete strangers, approach me in the street when they see me parking up and ask me if I have been having any problems. Almost everyone has the same carpet/indicators/body work faults as I have described above.
