Our Verdict
This Peugeot 207 is a strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage city car. Given the exceptionally low mileage for its age, it represents a well-preserved example of this petrol model.
When viewing this specific 2007 Peugeot, focus on the service history to see how the low mileage has been supported by regular oil changes. Because the car has been driven relatively little, check for any signs of age-related deterioration in rubber components like tyres, belts, and suspension bushings, which can perish even if not heavily used.
Negotiate based on the fact that while the mileage is low, the car is nearly 19 years old. Ask for proof of the work carried out to rectify the MOT failures noted in 2024 and 2025. Ensure the 1360cc petrol engine starts smoothly and that there are no unusual noises from the small-capacity powerplant during a test drive.
As a 1.4L petrol engine, this Peugeot 207 is designed for economy and is typically found in a lower insurance group, making it an affordable option for newer drivers. Fuel economy should be reasonable for a small hatchback of this era, though real-world figures will depend on driving style.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally low, with many parts being widely available and inexpensive. Expect annual running costs to be modest, primarily driven by fuel, insurance, and standard servicing. The tax band for this specific engine size is usually quite accessible.
The MOT history for NV57ACX shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, though no specific defect types were listed in the summary. You should specifically inspect the braking system, suspension, and lighting, as these are common areas where MOT failures occur in small hatchbacks.
Given the low mileage, check the condition of the tyres for flat spots or cracking. Additionally, inspect the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks, particularly around the 1.4L petrol engine components, and ensure the red paintwork is free from significant sun damage or clear coat peeling, which can sometimes affect older vehicles.
Registered in October 2007, this red 1.4L petrol Peugeot 207 has covered just over 40,000 miles in its lifetime. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, with the most recent test in October 2025 recording no defects. While there were recorded failures in 2024 and 2025, these were resolved to achieve a pass, and the mileage remains significantly lower than the typical average for a vehicle of this age.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Peugeot 207 to provide a statistical comparison.

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.
