Our Verdict
Approach with caution and budget for immediate maintenance before buying this 2007 Peugeot 207. The high mileage and repeated advisories for oil leaks and worn drivetrain components suggest an ageing car needing ongoing care.
When viewing this Peugeot 207, request full service history to confirm routine maintenance has been kept up given the 102,642 miles and noted oil leak that has appeared on every MOT since 2021. Use the recurring CV boot and brake binding advisories as negotiation points — these are wearable items that will need attention soon. Given the 2019 MOT failure for anti-roll bar and plate lamp faults, verify the seller has addressed them properly and check for any underlying suspension wear common on older hatchbacks.
As a 1.4-litre petrol Peugeot 207 first registered in September 2007, this car should fall into a lower road tax band and modest insurance group, though exact figures are not in the provided data. Fuel economy for this engine variant is typically reasonable for urban use, but the high mileage means maintenance such as tyres, brakes, and drivetrain boots will recur based on MOT advisories. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical upkeep is around £900-£1,200 given its age and condition notes.
Inspect the rear brakes for binding as noted in the 2022 MOT, and check the front and offside rear tyres for edge wear close to the legal limit recorded at 102,642 miles. Examine the nearside front CV boot which was severely deteriorated in 2022 and the offside unit from 2021, as torn boots lead to joint failure if ignored. Verify the extent of the oil leak flagged at the last three tests and confirm headlamp lens fading does not impair beam aim as the tester noted.
This blue 2007 Peugeot 207 (HN57AEY) has covered 102,642 miles as of its last MOT in September 2022, which is high for a 1.36-litre petrol supermini of this age. The MOT history shows one failure in 2019 for an anti-roll bar dust cover and a registration plate lamp, both since rectified, but recurring advisories for oil leaks, CV boot deterioration, and tyre wear persist. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so assessment relies solely on this vehicle's recorded history.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Peugeot 207, so this assessment is based only on the individual history of HN57AEY.

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.
