Peugeot 207 Sport HDI 90 (2008)
2008 Peugeot 207 Sport HDI 90
CarHunch analysed 208 real MOT records for the 2008 Peugeot 207 Sport HDI 90. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2008 Peugeot 207 Sport HDI 90 passes its MOT first time in only 72% of cases, noticeably below the UK average of 80%, and the diesel engine shows no meaningful advantage—it sits at 71.9% pass rate. The good news is that no vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety-critical failures are not a pattern here.
With a median mileage of 114,118 miles for a 16-year-old car, these are moderately used examples, and the 1.2 average failures per test suggest fairly routine wear-and-tear items rather than systemic mechanical weakness. If you're considering one, budget for minor repairs before purchase and factor in that you'll have roughly a one-in-four chance of needing work before the next MOT.
What to check before buying a 2008 Peugeot 207 Sport HDI 90
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
