Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
Given that this 1.6L diesel has covered much more mileage than the typical 207 in our database, you should prioritise checking the service history for regular oil changes, which are critical for these engines. Ask the seller for evidence of timing belt replacements, as these are vital maintenance items for this engine size.
When viewing the car, check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or suspension knocks. Although the recent MOTs show no defects, the aggregate data for this model highlights suspension arms and tyres as common failure points. Negotiate the price downwards if there is no documented proof of recent major component servicing.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Peugeot 207 is likely to offer decent fuel economy on longer motorway journeys, though city driving may see higher consumption. The tax band and insurance group for a 2011 207 will vary based on specific trim levels, but it generally sits in a moderate bracket.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for more frequently due to the higher-than-average mileage. Expect typical diesel maintenance requirements, such as fuel filter changes and potential EGR valve cleaning. An estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,100-£1,400, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and steering components. The aggregate data for Peugeot 207s indicates that suspension arms are a frequent cause of MOT failure, so listen for clunks or knocks when driving over bumps.
Check the condition of all four tyres and the operation of the headlamps, as these are the other top failure reasons for this model. Additionally, because this is a diesel, inspect the exhaust system for excessive smoke and check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay, which can be common on higher-mileage units.
This 2011 silver Peugeot 207 diesel is currently sitting at approximately 89,526 miles, which is substantially higher than the aggregate model average of 5,240 miles per year. The MOT history shows two recorded failures in 2021 and 2023, though no specific defect types were listed in the provided data. The vehicle has passed its most recent tests, but the high mileage suggests heavy usage.
Aggregate data for the Peugeot 207 shows a 70.8% average MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to 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.
