Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mechanical inspection. While the recent MOT history shows passes, the vehicle has high mileage for its age and requires close scrutiny of its maintenance records.
Given the mileage is well above the statistical average for this model, you should prioritise checking the service history to ensure regular oil changes and component replacements have occurred. Ask the seller for specific details regarding the causes of the MOT failures in 2021 and 2022, as these could indicate recurring issues with wear-and-tear items.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the age of the vehicle. Focus on verifying the timing belt replacement interval, as this is a critical maintenance item for the 1360cc petrol engine that is often overlooked on high-mileage Peugeot models.
Running costs for this 1.4L petrol Peugeot 207 are generally moderate. Being a smaller engine, fuel economy should be reasonable for urban driving, though actual figures will depend on driving style and maintenance.
Tax and insurance groups for this model are typically in the lower to mid-range, making it relatively affordable for newer drivers. However, expect maintenance costs to rise as the vehicle enters a higher mileage bracket, with more frequent requirements for suspension, braking, and exhaust components.
You should pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle and the braking system. Although the specific defects for the 2021 and 2022 failures were not listed, the fact that failures occurred suggests potential issues with components like tyres, lights, or suspension.
Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine and inspect the condition of the suspension bushings and shock absorbers. Given the 103,627 miles recorded, wear on the clutch and gearbox should also be assessed during a test drive.
This 2007 Peugeot 207, finished in blue with a 1.4L petrol engine, has covered 103,627 miles since its first registration in January 2007. This mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 5,207 miles per year. The MOT history shows two recorded failures in 2021 and 2022, though the specific defect details were not provided in the records.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 70.9% across 190,327 analysed 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.
- 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.
