Our Verdict
This 2009 Peugeot 207 presents a mixed o
When inspecting this 2009 Peugeot 207, verify the physical condition of the front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers and outer drive shaft CV boots, as these have appeared as advisories in recent MOT tests. Check the nearside rear brake mechanism for any signs of binding or uneven pad wear, which was noted during the January 2026 test at 91,044 miles. Ensure there is a comprehensive paper trail to corroborate the servicing history alongside the recorded MOT certificates.
Negotiate on price to account for the highlighted wear items found in the 2026 test, specifically the severely deteriorated nearside front outer drive shaft CV boot and offside front anti-roll bar linkage dust cover. These are common wear-and-tear items for the model but will require immediate attention post-purchase to prevent joint failure or secondary damage.
Examine the general condition of the black bodywork and interior controls, and confirm that all electrical systems, headlamps, and suspension components operate without excessive play. Given that top failure reasons for the 207 model nationally involve headlamps, suspension arms, and tyres, check these areas thoroughly during a test drive.
The 1.36-litre petrol engine in this Peugeot 207 sits in a moderate insurance group and offers predictable fuel economy for everyday urban and suburban commuting. Road tax is determined by emissions standards typical for a 2009 petrol hatchback, placing it in a standard VED band.
Maintenance costs for the 207 are generally reasonable due to widespread parts availability, but upcoming repairs for the highlighted CV boot and anti-roll bar linkages should be factored into immediate ownership costs. Consumables like tyres and brake components are competitively priced.
Estimated annual running costs, covering fuel, insurance, road tax, and routine maintenance, are projected to be around £1,100 to £1,350, depending on individual driver profile and annual mileage accumulation.
Pay close attention to the front suspension and steering components. The MOT history explicitly highlights a severely deteriorated offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover in 2026 (and a similar nearside issue in 2024), indicating that suspension drop links and rubber boots require careful scrutiny.
Inspect the front drive shafts closely. The nearside front outer constant velocity boot was recorded as severely deteriorated during the January 2026 test, echoing an offside front CV boot advisory from January 2025. Perished rubber boots can lead to joint contamination and expensive replacements if left unaddressed.
Check the braking system thoroughly, noting the nearside rear service brake binding recorded in January 2026. Ensure the handbrake mechanism and rear calipers release cleanly without dragging, and check that the tyres and headlamps—noted as common failure points across the 207 model range—are free from excessive wear or electrical faults.
First registered in June 2009, this black petrol-engined Peugeot 207 features a 1360.0cc powerplant and has covered 91,044 miles by January 2026. The vehicle's MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, though recent years have logged recurring advisories for deteriorating CV boots, anti-roll bar dust covers, and a binding service brake.
The Peugeot 207 has an aggregate MOT pass rate of 70.8% across nearly 200,000 analysed vehicles, with headlamps, suspension arms, and tyres forming the most common failure categories.

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.
