Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution. The combin
The primary concern is the gap in MOT history from April 2022 to the present; you must verify the current legal status of the vehicle before proceeding. If the car has been sitting idle, check for perished tyres and battery degradation. If it has been used, request a full service history to see how the 2.0L diesel engine has been managed over 200,000 miles.
Negotiate based on the likely need for immediate maintenance. Specifically, ask for proof that the oil leak and steering linkage play noted in the 2022 records were ever repaired. Given the age and mileage, any evidence of recent major component replacement (such as the clutch or timing belt) should be a key part of your valuation.
As a 2.0L diesel, this model generally offers reasonable fuel economy for its size, though efficiency may have declined given the high mileage. Insurance costs should be relatively low due to the vehicle's age, but tax will be based on 2006 emissions standards.
Maintenance costs are expected to be higher than average. With over 200,000 miles on the clock, wear-and-tear items such as suspension bushings, seals, and engine mounts are likely to require attention, potentially leading to an annual maintenance spend significantly higher than a lower-mileage equivalent.
Focus your inspection on the areas flagged in the April 2022 MOT. Check the nearside front steering linkage ball joint and the rear anti-roll bar linkage for excessive play or wear. Use a torch to inspect the engine bay and underside for signs of the oil leak mentioned in the MOT records.
Additionally, test all external lighting, specifically the dipped beams and the rear registration plate lamps, as these were the primary causes of the 2022 failure. Given the high mileage, check the exhaust system for corrosion and the brakes for significant wear.
This silver 2006 Peugeot 407 2.0L diesel has a recorded mileage of 207,892 miles as of its last MOT. The vehicle's most recent test history shows a failure and subsequent pass in April 2022, with several advisories remaining regarding the steering and engine. There is a notable absence of MOT data for the subsequent four years.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Peugeot 407 to provide a model-wide comparison.
