Peugeot 207 (2010)
2010 Peugeot 207
CarHunch analysed 39,934 real MOT records for the 2010 Peugeot 207. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2010 Peugeot 207 falls short of the UK average with a 74.2% first-time pass rate, and there's a serious red flag: 42.4% of these cars have recorded dangerous defects at some point, well above acceptable levels for a buyer considering one. Petrol versions fare slightly better at 75.3% passes versus diesel at 72.0%, though neither inspires confidence.
At 53,527 miles median mileage for a 14-year-old car, these 207s show typical wear, yet they're racking up an average of 4.2 failures and 20.2 advisories per test—indicating electrical, suspension, and brake issues are commonplace. Before committing to one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on braking systems and suspension components, as these clearly aren't holding up well across the fleet.
Petrol vs Diesel
Pass rate difference of 3.3 percentage points — worth knowing if you're choosing between the two.
What to check before buying a 2010 Peugeot 207
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.
- ⚠️ 42.4% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
