Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a lo
When inspecting this 1.4L petrol Peugeot, focus on the tyre condition, as the 2025 MOT highlighted a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. Ensure all four tyres have sufficient tread and are not wearing unevenly, which could indicate suspension issues.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent tyre replacements to ensure the 2025 advisory has been addressed. While the MOT history is relatively clean, you should still check for any signs of fluid leaks under the engine bay and verify that the service history matches the low mileage recorded.
The 1397cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it affordable for many drivers. Fuel economy for this model is typically average for a small hatchback of this era.
Maintenance costs for a Peugeot 207 are usually manageable, though you should budget for common wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake components. Given the low annual mileage, your estimated annual running costs should remain relatively stable.
Given that 'tyre' is one of the top failure reasons for this model across the aggregate data, perform a thorough check of all tyre treads and sidewalls. Specifically, check the nearside rear to see if the issue noted in the 2025 MOT has been rectified.
Additionally, because 'suspension arm' is a common failure point for the Peugeot 207 model, listen for any knocking or clunking noises from the underside when driving over bumps. Finally, check the operation of the headlamps, as this is another frequent failure reason for this vehicle type.
This 2011 blue Peugeot 207 has covered 59,745 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 5,244 miles per year. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes since 2022, with only one recorded defect related to a nearside rear tyre in 2025. Overall, the vehicle presents a consistent record of passing inspections without major mechanical failures recorded.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 70.8%, with common failures 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.
