Known faults for Peugeot 207
Our database tracks 5 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.

Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
A thorough mechanical inspection is essential, particularly regarding the exhaust system and engine emissions. The January 2026 failure noted a major exhaust leak and an exhaust Lambda reading outside specified limits; you should confirm these specific repairs were completed and that the engine is running efficiently.
Negotiate based on the frequency of suspension-related failures. Given the history of track rod ends, suspension arm bushes, and anti-roll bar linkages failing, you should check the entire underside of the car for play in the steering and suspension components. Ensure there is a documented service history to supplement the MOT data, as the MOT alone does not confirm regular maintenance.
With a 1360cc petrol engine, running costs are generally moderate for a small hatchback. Fuel economy will depend heavily on the condition of the exhaust system and the Lambda sensor, as the recent failure suggests potential efficiency issues.
Insurance groups for the Peugeot 207 are typically mid-range, and tax bands for this 1.4L engine are relatively affordable. Expect maintenance costs to be influenced by the suspension components, which have appeared frequently in the MOT history. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £950-£1,200, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Focus heavily on the suspension and steering. The MOT history shows repeated issues with ball joints, track rod ends, and suspension arm bushes. During a test drive, listen for knocks or knocks from the front end and check for any wandering or vibration in the steering.
Inspect the exhaust system thoroughly. The recent failure for a major exhaust leak and Lambda reading issues means you should check for any signs of soot, rattling, or uneven idling. Additionally, check the inner wheel arch on the nearside front, as the 2026 MOT failure noted a body component that was likely to become detached.
This 2010 black Peugeot 207 has covered 110,583 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,216 miles per year. While it has passed its most recent MOT in January 2026, the preceding failure in the same month revealed multiple issues ranging from exhaust leaks to suspension wear. The vehicle's history shows a pattern of recurring suspension and ball joint issues.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 70.9% MOT pass rate, with suspension arms and ball joints being common failure points.

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.
