Our Verdict
A strong candidate for a buyer seeking a low-mileage example of this model. The extremely low mileage and clean MOT history suggest a vehicle that has seen minimal road use.
With mileage this low for a 2007 vehicle, your primary focus should be on how the car has been stored and whether it has suffered from lack of use. Check for perished rubber components, such as tyres and suspension bushings, which can degrade even if the car isn't driven often.
Request documentation regarding any recent service intervals. While the MOT history shows no defects, an MOT is not a substitute for a mechanical service. Ensure the timing belt (cambelt) has been replaced according to manufacturer recommendations, as these are often time-sensitive rather than just mileage-sensitive.
As a 1.6L petrol engine, running costs will be moderate for a small hatchback. You should expect average fuel economy for a car of this era, though the specific MPG will depend on driving style.
Tax and insurance groups for the 207 are generally positioned in the lower to mid-ranges, making it relatively affordable for newer drivers. Maintenance costs for Peugeot parts are typically manageable, but budget for periodic replacement of consumables like brake pads and tyres which may be aged due to the low mileage.
Inspect the tyres closely for age markings; even if they have plenty of tread, they may be too old for safe use if they have been sitting idle. Check the battery health and the condition of the fluids, as long periods of inactivity can lead to moisture buildup or degradation.
While the MOT history for this specific vehicle shows no failures or advisories, be aware that the wider Peugeot 207 model aggregate shows a 70.9% pass rate. This suggests that common issues can arise in this model range, so pay attention to any unusual noises from the suspension or engine during a test drive.
This 2007 Peugeot 207 presents with significantly lower mileage than the model average, having covered only 23,358 miles since its first registration. The MOT history is notable for having no recorded defects in its most recent tests in 2022 and 2024. Given the model's aggregate average annual mileage of 5,207, this specific silver 1.6L petrol variant has been driven far less than typical.
Aggregate data for the Peugeot 207 shows an average MOT pass rate of 70.9% across 190,327 analysed vehicles.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: PEUGEOT 207
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Electric Power Steering (EPAS) Column Failure(Serious)
The 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)(Serious)
The 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)(Moderate)
The 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.
- DPF Clogging (1.6 HDi Short Trips)(Moderate)
The diesel particulate filter on the 1.6 HDi clogs quickly on short urban journeys, triggering limp mode, excessive fuel consumption and eventually requiring forced regeneration or removal.
