Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Focus on the 1.4L petrol engine's performance and check for any signs of the previously noted exhaust leak, despite the subsequent clean MOTs. Ensure all electrical components are functioning, as headlamp issues are a common failure point for this model.
Review the service history to confirm regular oil changes, which are critical for the longevity of this engine variant. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres, as these are a frequent point of failure for the 207 model range.
This 1360cc petrol engine typically offers reasonable fuel economy for city driving and falls into a mid-range insurance group. Annual tax will be based on its 2012 CO2 emissions.
Maintenance costs for the 207 are generally affordable due to the widespread availability of parts. The estimated annual cost covers fuel, tax, insurance, and typical wear-and-tear items.
Check the lighting system thoroughly, specifically the offside headlamp, as this caused a failure in March 2024. Inspect the exhaust system for signs of leaks or corrosion, referencing the advisory recorded in 2023.
Additionally, examine the suspension arms and tyre tread depth, as these are listed as top failure reasons for the Peugeot 207 across the aggregate data of over 190,000 vehicles.
This blue 2012 Peugeot 207 has covered 66,636 miles, which is below the average annual mileage for this model. Its recent MOT history shows two consecutive passes without defects in 2025 and 2026. The record shows a minor headlamp failure in 2024 and an exhaust leak advisory in 2023.
The Peugeot 207 has an average MOT pass rate of 70.8% across 190,632 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.
