Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of worn discs, thin pads, and binding brakes across 2025 and 2026. Ensure that the most recent repairs to the front and rear brakes have been completed to a high standard and are not just temporary fixes.
Negotiate based on the potential forthcoming maintenance required for the leaks identified in the March 2026 test. You should also request evidence of any work carried out to address the coolant and oil leaks, as these can lead to more significant engine issues if left unaddressed. Check the condition of the tyres personally, as the 2026 record noted both nearside front and rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit.
The 1598cc petrol engine typically sits in a moderate insurance group and tax band suitable for older hatchbacks. Fuel economy for this model is generally average for a petrol engine of this era, though actual figures will depend on driving style and maintenance.
Maintenance costs for this Peugeot may be higher than expected due to the frequency of consumables needing replacement, such as brake components and tyres. Expect to budget for regular servicing to monitor the oil and coolant leaks noted in the recent MOT history. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,100-£1,400, including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance.
Focus heavily on the underside and engine bay to investigate the coolant leak and the oil leak reported in the March 2026 MOT. These should be checked for the source and severity to ensure they are not indicative of more serious gasket or seal failures.
Inspect the suspension and steering components, specifically looking at the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, which were flagged as excessively worn in 2025. Additionally, check the exhaust system for any signs of the front flexi leak mentioned in the 2025 records, and ensure the registration plate lamp and all indicators are fully operational, as these have been recurring failures.
This 2010 black Peugeot 207 with a 1.6L petrol engine has covered 113,541 miles as of March 2026. While it passed its most recent MOT, the record reveals a pattern of recurring issues, including brake wear, binding brakes, and recent reports of coolant and oil leaks. The mileage is notably higher than the model average of 5,244 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 70.8% average MOT pass rate, with common failures often related to headlamps, suspension arms, and tyres.

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.
