Known faults for Peugeot Peugeot 407
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Average
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.

Common Problems: PEUGEOT 407
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Front Double-Wishbone Swivel Ball Joint Wear(Moderate)
The 407 employs a decoupled pivot double-wishbone front suspension system that relies on upper and lower swivel pivot pins fitted into spherical ball joints on each hub. Due to the vehicle's heavy front kerb weight and harsh UK road surfaces, the lower hub swivel ball joints experience severe wear and play, often by 50,000 miles. Symptoms include heavy clunking or knocking noises over speed cushions, steering wander on motorways, rapid inner front tyre wear, and frequent MOT test rejections.
- Dual-Zone Climate Control Heater Flap Shaft Fracture(Moderate)
Dual-zone climate control models suffer from a notorious flaw where the internal plastic drive shaft connecting the temperature blend door to the electric stepper motor snaps inside the heater casing. When the shaft shears, the blend door drops and jams into position, usually resulting in freezing cold air blowing continuously onto the driver while hot air blows on the passenger, or vice versa. Proper repair traditionally required complete dashboard removal and an expensive heater casing replacement.
- 2.0 HDi / 1.6 HDi DPF and Eolys Additive Depletion(Serious)
PSA's FAP diesel particulate filter system relies on a cerium-based additive fluid (Eolys) stored in a reservoir near the fuel tank, injected automatically during refueling to lower DPF regeneration temperature. In cars used predominantly for short urban trips, DPF regeneration fails to complete, causing soot blockage. Furthermore, once the Eolys fluid depletes (typically around 70,000–80,000 miles), the ECU triggers a persistent 'Depollution System Fault' and limp-home mode.
