The 2007 Peugeot 207 S has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 62.8%, well below the UK average of 80%, which suggests these cars are prone to developing faults by their second decade. The data shows no dangerous defects recorded across the cohort, so safety-critical systems aren't a widespread concern, but the low pass rate reflects genuine reliability issues that buyers need to budget for.

These cars are averaging around 90,000 miles for their age, which is typical mileage, yet they're racking up 0.78 failures per vehicle on test—significantly above what you'd expect from a mid-range family car of this generation. If you're considering one, factor in repair costs for whatever knocked it off the road the first time, and check the full service history closely to understand whether it's been properly maintained.

The 2007 Peugeot 207 S passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (81.6%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
