Known faults for Peugeot 207
Our database tracks 5 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent
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.

Our Verdict
This is a sensible used buy with a reassuring MOT record and very low mileage for its age. The only caution is a repeated minor brake binding note that should be confirmed as resolved before purchase.
Focus your negotiation on the low mileage and clean MOT pass rate; these support a fair private or trade price for a 2013 diesel hatchback. Ask for service history to confirm the timing belt and diesel filter have been attended to, as Peugeot 1.6 HDi units need scheduled maintenance despite the gentle 4,500-mile annual use seen here. Given the 2022 and 2024 rear brake binding notes, request evidence the brakes were cleaned or adjusted, even though the latest 2026 test recorded no defects.
The 1560cc diesel engine in this 207 typically returns strong economy, and as a 2013 Euro 5 diesel it should fall in a modest VED band, though confirm the exact rate via the reg. Insurance groups for the 207 diesel are generally low, helping keep yearly overheads down. Based on the low annual mileage of roughly 2,000 miles, expect total running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and basic maintenance to sit around £800-£1,000.
On inspection, pay attention to the rear brakes given the 2022 'Both' and 2024 'Offside Rear' service brake binding advisories; confirm callipers and handbrake mechanism move freely with no sticking. Check the bodywork and underside for corrosion typical of a 2013 white Peugeot kept through UK winters, even though the MOT shows no structural defects. Verify the 29,252-mile odometer against service stamps, as the gentle yearly increments from 24,794 (2022) to 29,252 (2026) are consistent and should be easy to corroborate.
The 2013 white Peugeot 207 1.6 diesel (LN13AAV) shows just 29,252 miles on its most recent May 2026 MOT, well below typical use for a 13-year-old car. Its test history is clean apart from minor rear brake binding advisories in 2022 and 2024, both described as not excessive. With five consecutive passes and no failures, the vehicle presents as a low-risk, lightly used example of the model.
No aggregate MOT reliability data was available for the Peugeot 207 to benchmark this example against the wider model population.

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.
