Our Verdict
Exercise caution due to a significant ga
The most critical point for a buyer is the absence of MOT data between March 2022 and September 2026. You must verify if the vehicle has been taxed and tested during this period or if it has been off the road. Request all service invoices to see if the suspension arm bush advisory from 2022 was ever addressed.
Negotiate based on the lack of recent official records. Ensure you check for any evidence of long-term storage, such as perished tyres or battery failure, given the gap in the testing history. Verify the current mileage against the 62,826 miles recorded in 2022 to determine the actual usage over the last four years.
The 1.6L petrol engine provides a balance of power and economy, though it will be less efficient than modern equivalents. Insurance groups for the Peugeot 207 are generally accessible, making it a cost-effective choice for many drivers.
Maintenance costs are typically moderate, but buyers should budget for the common wear-and-tear items identified in model data, such as suspension components and lighting. Annual costs including fuel, tax, and basic servicing are estimated to be moderate for a vehicle of this age.
Specifically inspect the offside front lower suspension arm and bushings, as this was explicitly flagged as worn in the 2022 MOT and is a top failure reason for the 207 model. Check the operation of all headlamps and the condition of the tyres, as these are also high-frequency failure points according to aggregate data.
Given the 2009 registration, check for age-related degradation of rubber seals and hoses. A full physical inspection of the underbody is recommended to ensure no further suspension or braking issues have developed since the last recorded test.
This 2009 black Peugeot 207 1.6 petrol had a recorded mileage of 62,826 miles during its last provided MOT in March 2022.

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.
