Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available MOT data, though the most recent record is significantly outdated. The last recorded test on 14 December 2023 resulted in a pass at 145,647 miles, following a failure on the same day. Because the current date is 22 July 2026, the vehicle has been without a valid MOT for over two years. This gap makes the current roadworthiness status unknown and suggests the car has been stationary or off the road for a prolonged period. Mileage accumulation has been consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 7,666 miles per year. The distance increased by 12,439 miles between December 2021 and December 2022, and another 13,439 miles by December 2023. These figures indicate regular use until the end of 2023. The lack of any recorded defects or advisories across five years of testing is unusual for a nineteen year old Peugeot 807 and suggests a history of proactive maintenance or very light duty. A physical inspection must now focus on components that degrade during long periods of inactivity. The buyer should check for seized brake calipers and perished tyre sidewalls, as the car has not been tested since late 2023. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points is essential. The engine and drivetrain should be assessed for signs of fluid leaks or battery failure resulting from the extended dormant period. While the MOT history is clean, the absence of any flagged wear on suspension bushes or coil springs over 145,000 miles warrants a manual check to ensure these components have not simply been overlooked or have degraded since the last test.

MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

4 MOT tests are recorded for this 2007 Peugeot 807 (BD07 ABV) between December 2021 and December 2023.

The record contains 3 passes and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 14 December 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (7 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Lighting (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 11 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Offside Parking brake inoperative on one side (1.4.1 (a))”.

Our Verdict

Proceed with caution – the vehicle shows a pattern of recurring MOT failures and high mileage, which raises reliability concerns.

When inspecting this van, focus on the condition of the parking brake system and the front and rear tyre wear, as recent MOTs (2023) flagged a dangerous near‑side front tyre with exposed ply and multiple tyre damage advisories. Verify that any brake disc or pad wear has been addressed and that the parking brake now operates correctly. Request a full service history, paying particular attention to any work done on the track rod end ball joints, which have shown repeated excessive play since 2016. Negotiating a price reduction to cover the likely cost of new tyres, brake components, and possible suspension work would be prudent. Consider a professional pre‑purchase inspection to confirm the integrity of the exhaust system, which was flagged as insecure in 2018, and to ensure the parking brake is fully functional.

The 2.0‑litre diesel engine in the 807 typically delivers around 35‑40 mpg, making fuel costs moderate for a vehicle of its size. It falls into the UK CO₂ tax band for diesel vans of this vintage, attracting an annual road tax of approximately £250. Insurance groups for a 2007 807 are usually in the mid‑range (group 15‑20), leading to yearly premiums of £600‑£800 depending on driver profile. Given the age and mileage, routine maintenance – including tyre replacement, brake servicing, and suspension repairs – can add another £300‑£500 per year. Overall, expect an annual running cost in the region of £1,200‑£1,500.

Pay particular attention to the parking brake mechanism; the 2023 MOT recorded a dangerous failure (off‑side parking brake inoperative) and multiple major failures in previous years, indicating a persistent problem. Inspect the track rod end ball joints on both sides – excessive play was noted in 2016, 2020, and 2022 – as worn joints can lead to steering imprecision and further suspension wear. Examine all four tyres for cracking, damage, or tread depth below the legal limit, as recent advisories highlighted near‑side front tyre ply exposure and side‑wall cracking. Finally, check the exhaust mounting and stop lamps, which were flagged as insecure and non‑functional in 2018, to avoid costly rectifications.

The 2007 Peugeot 807 diesel has accumulated 145,647 miles and carries a mixed MOT record, with several major failures related to the parking brake, track rod end ball joints, and tyres over the past six years. While the engine and core structure have passed most tests, the recurring suspension and brake issues suggest the need for imminent repairs. Value for money is limited unless the price reflects the anticipated maintenance costs.

No specific aggregate reliability data is available for the Peugeot 807, but the vehicle's MOT record suggests typical ageing issues with brakes, suspension, and tyres for a high‑mileage diesel van of this era.
