Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. This vehicle h
The most critical step is to ensure the vehicle passes a fresh MOT test before any purchase is finalised. Because the car has been off the road or untested since 2022, you should look for signs of degradation caused by inactivity, such as seized brakes or perished rubber components.
Negotiate the price based on the likely cost of 'catch-up' maintenance. Check the service history specifically for evidence of a timing belt replacement, as this is a vital maintenance item for the 1360cc engine that, if neglected, can lead to total engine failure.
The 1360cc petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, though fuel economy will be lower than modern equivalents. As a 2006 model, it will fall into a standard tax bracket for its age and a relatively low insurance group, making it affordable to keep on the road daily.
However, the estimated annual cost is skewed higher here because a vehicle that has been untested for four years will likely require immediate investment in tyres, fluids, and potential suspension work to return to a safe standard.
Pay close attention to the suspension arms and headlamps, as these are among the top failure reasons for the Peugeot 207 across 190,632 analysed vehicles. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots, which often occur when a car sits stationary for long periods.
Given the 128,376 miles on the odometer, check for oil leaks around the engine bay and ensure the exhaust system is secure and free from excessive corrosion. A thorough check of the electrical systems is also advised, as batteries and wiring can degrade during long periods of disuse.
This grey 2006 Peugeot 207 has a recorded mileage of 128,376 miles as of its last test. While the February 2022 record shows a pass following a failure on the previous day, there is a significant four-year gap in MOT history. Combined with the vehicle's age and high mileage, it represents a high-risk purchase.
The Peugeot 207 has a moderate reliability reputation, with an average MOT pass rate of 70.8% across a large dataset of over 190,000 vehicles.

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.
- 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.
