The most recent test on 19 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 3 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: “Offside Outer Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (6.1.7 ”.

Our Verdict
This 2014 Peugeot 207 offers decent value but requires careful inspection of recurring mechanical issues. Negotiate a lower price to account for recent MOT failures and potential repair costs.
Prioritise a mechanical inspection of the rear exhaust system and offside constant velocity drive shaft boot, which failed twice in 2025-2026. Verify the vehicle's service history for repairs related to these issues. Negotiate the price to reflect the recurring faults, and consider a pre-purchase survey to assess hidden damage. The 2024 MOT noted a non-repairable tyre bolt issue, so check the current tyre condition and wheel alignment.
The 1.6L petrol engine offers average fuel economy of 40-45 mpg, resulting in £800-£1,000 annual fuel costs for 8,000-10,000 miles. Tax is £145 annually (standard rate for petrol cars registered after 2017). Insurance group 15-18 is typical, costing £600-£800 yearly. Maintenance costs could reach £500-£700 annually due to the drive shaft and exhaust repairs. Total estimated annual running cost: £2,000-£2,500.
Focus on the rear exhaust mounting (failing in 2026) for rust or loose bolts, and the offside constant velocity drive shaft boot (failed twice) for splits or missing sections. Check for oil leaks around the exhaust system and vibrations during test drives. Inspect the 2024 tyre bolt issue by examining the nearside rear wheel for structural damage. Verify the vehicle has no unreported accident history, as the MOT failures suggest potential underlying mechanical stress.
The 2014 Peugeot 207 has a mixed MOT history with repeated issues around the rear exhaust mounting and drive shaft boot. At 49,010 miles, the mileage is slightly high for a 12-year-old vehicle, though the black 1.6L petrol model remains a practical choice for budget buyers willing to address its known weaknesses.
No aggregate data available for the Peugeot 207, but this vehicle's MOT history highlights recurring mechanical issues that may indicate design vulnerabilities in certain components.

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.
