Our Verdict
This is a sensible option for a small petrol hatchback, provided the current mileage is verified. The clean MOT record from 2022 suggests a period of defect-free operation, though recent maintenance must be confirmed.
When inspecting this specific 1360cc Peugeot 207, prioritize checking the service history to see what has been done between the 2022 MOT and the present day. Because the last recorded mileage was 65,712 miles, you should ask the seller for the current odometer reading to gauge how much usage has occurred in the last four years.
Look closely at the rubber components, such as suspension bushings and tyre sidewalls, as these can perish on older vehicles even if they passed their last test. Given the model's age, ensure the electrical systems—including central locking and window regulators—are functioning correctly, as these are common areas of interest for this generation of Peugeot.
The 1.4L petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it an economical choice for urban driving. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically modest but suitable for a small hatchback.
Maintenance costs for the 207 are generally predictable, though you should budget for routine items like cambelt replacements if they haven't been addressed recently. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, sit in a mid-range bracket for small petrol cars.
Start by reviewing the most recent MOT certificate to see if any new advisories have appeared since the clean 2022 result. Pay particular attention to the brake pads and discs, as well as any signs of fluid leaks under the engine bay.
Since the 2022 MOT recorded no defects, you are looking for any degradation that has occurred in the intervening years. Check the condition of the black paintwork for any signs of oxidation or significant scratches, and inspect the tyres for an even tread pattern to rule out alignment issues.
This 2008 Peugeot 207 features a 1.4L petrol engine and is finished in black. With 65,712 miles recorded in its last MOT in June 2022, it has covered significantly more than the model average of 5,207 miles per year. While the 2022 test showed no defects, the age of the vehicle means buyers should account for wear and tear accumulated since that record.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 70.9% across over 190,000 vehicles analysed.

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.
