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.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.

Our Verdict
Avoid this vehicle unless major repairs are confirmed. Repeated corrosion, brake issues, and tyre wear indicate potential hidden costs.
Negotiate heavily due to high repair risks. Insist on a pre-purchase inspection focusing on corrosion (especially under the car) and brake systems. Check service history for tyre replacements and suspension repairs. Be wary of 'clean' MOTs in 2022/2023 that may have been addressed temporarily. Avoid if the seller cannot provide proof of repairs for past failures.
Fuel economy is likely poor for a 15-year-old petrol car (est. 35-40 mpg). Road tax would be £145 annually (2007 model). Insurance group 15-18 would cost £500-£700/year. Maintenance costs are elevated due to corrosion repairs and brake work. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,600.
Thoroughly check underbody for rust (sub-frame, suspension arms, coil springs). Test brake performance (binding issues noted in 2023/2024). Inspect tyres for uneven wear (repeated 'worn close to limit' failures). Check headlamp alignment and windscreen washer function. Examine CV boot for leaks (severely deteriorated in 2024). Verify that all suspension components are secure and not corroded beyond repair.
This 2007 Peugeot 207 has 78,878 miles and shows significant corrosion (sub-frame, coil springs, suspension components) in recent MOTs. Brake binding, worn tyres, and failed emissions checks suggest poor maintenance. While the 1.36L engine is reliable, age-related wear and recurring issues raise concerns. No aggregate reliability data exists for the 207 model.
No aggregate data available for PEUGEOT 207, but this vehicle shows typical age-related issues including corrosion and brake wear common in 15-year-old cars.

AI Analysis
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.
