Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Focus your attention on the chassis and braking system. Because brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or corroded in both 2024 and 2025, you should verify whether these were replaced or simply cleaned. Request evidence of the repair for the steering rack inner joints, which caused a failure in September 2025.
Ensure you check the service history for regular oil changes, as these 1.4L petrol engines rely on consistent maintenance to avoid long-term wear. Given the frequency of lighting failures in the last two years, a full electrical check of all bulbs and indicators is recommended.
The 1360cc petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, though it will be less economical than modern equivalents. Insurance costs are typically moderate for this model, and parts are widely available across the UK, keeping routine repair costs manageable.
Annual expenses will include the standard VED tax for a 2009 petrol vehicle and typical maintenance for a car of this age. You should budget for the eventual replacement of wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake pads, which have already appeared in this vehicle's MOT history.
Prioritise an inspection of the front brake discs; look for pitting or corrosion on the inner faces, as this was a recurring issue in the 2024 and 2025 tests. Test the steering for any vagueness or knocking, specifically referencing the steering rack inner joint failure from September 2025.
Check all exterior lighting, including the stop lamps and rear position lamps, which failed in 2025, and the headlamps, which were flagged in 2023 and 2024. Finally, check the tyre sidewalls to ensure they are fitted correctly, following a specific failure recorded in September 2024.
This red 2009 Peugeot 207 has covered 67,927 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history reveals failures in both 2024 and 2025, with recurring issues regarding brake disc corrosion and multiple lighting faults. A notable failure involving the steering rack inner joints was recorded in September 2025.
The Peugeot 207 has an average MOT pass rate of 70.8%, with headlamps, suspension arms, and tyres being the most common failure points across the model range.

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.
