Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this Peugeot 407, focus on the mechanical integrity of the 2.0L diesel engine. Given the high mileage of over 162,000 miles, you should ask for evidence of timing belt changes and water pump replacements, as these are critical for this engine type.
Negotiate based on the mileage and the fact that the MOT history shows two failures in the last three years. While no specific defect types were recorded in the data provided, the pattern of failing and then passing suggests that certain components required attention to meet minimum standards. Ensure you check the full service history to see if repairs were carried out following those 2021 and 2023 failures.
As a 2.0L diesel, this vehicle is likely to offer decent fuel economy on long motorway journeys, though costs will be higher in stop-start urban driving. You should check the specific Euro emission standard to understand potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges in major UK cities.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2006 Peugeot 407 vary depending on the exact trim level, but expect mid-range insurance costs. Maintenance on a high-mileage diesel can involve significant costs for items like fuel injectors, turbochargers, or DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) management if the car has been used for short trips.
Because the MOT history shows failures in 2021 and 2023 without specific defect descriptions in this summary, you must perform a rigorous physical inspection. Pay close attention to the suspension components, braking system, and tyre condition, as these are common areas for MOT failures on older large saloons.
Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay and inspect the condition of the turbocharger hoses. Given the age and mileage, also check the underside of the vehicle for significant corrosion, which is a common issue for French vehicles of this era.
This 2006 silver Peugeot 407 diesel has covered 162,226 miles as of its last recorded MOT in October 2023. The vehicle has a consistent history of passing its MOT tests, but it has also experienced two recorded failures in 2021 and 2023, both occurring just one or two miles prior to a successful retest. The mileage is high, reflecting its age and diesel engine type.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Peugeot 407 to provide a statistical comparison.
