Peugeot 4007 (2007)
2007 Peugeot 4007
CarHunch analysed 474 real MOT records for the 2007 Peugeot 4007. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Peugeot 4007 falls short of the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of 75.3% against the national 80%, and nearly half of these vehicles (44.3%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a significant buyer concern. The diesel engines that dominate this cohort perform marginally better at 75.4%, but this narrow advantage offers little reassurance.
At around 87,000 miles, these cars sit at a reasonable mileage for their age, yet they're averaging 4.34 failures and 30.5 advisories per test, suggesting widespread wear and aging components rather than isolated problems. If you're considering one, budget for multiple repairs at the next MOT and have a full pre-purchase inspection focus on brake and suspension systems, where dangerous defects cluster in this generation.
What to check before buying a 2007 Peugeot 4007
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.
- ⚠️ 44.3% 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.
