Common Faults & Reliability
These are the most common documented problems for the Peugeot 207, sorted by their typical impact and frequency.
Electric Power Steering (EPAS) Column Failure
high severityThe EPAS column is the single biggest reliability concern on the 207. It can fail without warning, causing sudden heavy steering. Some cars have had multiple column replacements under warranty.
VTi Timing Chain Stretch (Prince Engine)
high severityThe 1.4 VTi and 1.6 VTi Prince engines suffer from timing chain stretch and tensioner failure, leading to chain rattle on cold start, rough running and potentially catastrophic engine damage if the chain jumps.
EGR Valve Sticking (1.6 HDi)
medium severityThe exhaust gas recirculation valve on the 1.6 HDi diesel can stick open or closed, causing rough idle, poor performance and excessive emissions. Carbon build-up is the main cause.
