Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise a review of the full service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, which are critical maintenance items for this 2.0L diesel engine. Because the MOT records show failures in 2023 and 2024 without detailed defect lists provided here, you should request the original failure certificates to understand exactly what was repaired.
Negotiate the price based on the vehicle's age and the evidence of recent failures. Ensure that any work carried out to rectify the July 2024 failure is backed up by invoices from a reputable garage to confirm the quality of the repairs.
The 1997cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances, though fuel economy will be lower in urban environments. As a 2006 model, this vehicle likely falls into a higher road tax bracket than modern diesel equivalents, and insurance costs will depend on the driver's profile and the car's insurance group.
Maintenance costs are expected to be higher due to the vehicle's age. Budget for the replacement of ageing rubber components, suspension bushings, and potential emissions system wear. The estimated annual running cost includes fuel, tax, insurance, and a contingency for repairs.
Carefully inspect the suspension and steering components, as these are common areas for wear on the 407. Given the MOT failures in May 2023 and July 2024, pay close attention to the areas typically flagged during tests, such as brakes, tyres, and lighting, to ensure repairs were comprehensive and not just temporary fixes.
Check the silver paintwork for signs of clear-coat failure or corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches. Additionally, check for any signs of diesel leaks around the engine bay and ensure the electrical systems, including the infotainment and dashboard electronics, are functioning correctly.
This silver 2006 Peugeot 407 diesel has recorded 117,867 miles. The MOT history shows a pattern of failing and passing within a few days in both May 2023 and July 2024. Although the most recent test on 18th July 2024 was a pass with no defects recorded, the repeated failures suggest a vehicle that requires regular remedial work to remain roadworthy.
Aggregate reliability data for the Peugeot 407 is not available, but the 2.0L diesel variant is generally known for its longevity if maintained.
