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: Below 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
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise reviewing the service history to confirm when the timing belt and water pump were last replaced, especially as the 2021 MOT specifically noted the vehicle was low on coolant. Given the mileage exceeds 146,000, check for any signs of diesel particulate filter (DPF) issues or turbo wear, which can be common in high-mileage diesel engines of this era.
Negotiate the price based on the high mileage and the likelihood of upcoming maintenance for suspension components. Ensure that any repairs mentioned in the 2023 failure (such as the CV boot) have been carried out to a professional standard.
The 1.6L diesel engine provides efficient fuel economy for motorway driving, though maintenance costs typically rise as a vehicle surpasses 140,000 miles. Tax and insurance for the Peugeot 207 are generally moderate, but the age of the vehicle means parts replacement will be more frequent.
Expect higher annual spending on wear-and-tear items. Based on the MOT history, suspension components and tyres are recurring costs for this specific vehicle.
Carefully inspect the front suspension and steering assembly. Specifically, check for play in the track rod ends and examine the condition of the CV boots, as these were points of failure in 2021 and 2023. Check the coolant expansion tank for levels and look for signs of leaks around the hoses, referencing the 2021 MOT failure for low coolant.
Verify that the tyres fitted to the same axle are of the same size and specification, as the vehicle previously failed an MOT in 2021 due to mismatched tyre sizes. Finally, ensure the windscreen washer system is fully operational, following a failure in late 2023.
This silver 2011 Peugeot 207 diesel has recorded 146,016 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures related to wear-and-tear items, including a CV boot and track rod end. While it passed its November 2023 test, previous records indicate issues with coolant levels and incorrect tyre sizing.
The Peugeot 207 has an average MOT pass rate of 70.8%, with common failures frequently involving headlamps, suspension arms, and tyres.

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.
