The 2004 Peugeot 607 falls short of the UK average with a 75.5% first-time pass rate, suggesting this model is less reliable than typical for its age, and nearly one in five vehicles (18.1%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a genuine concern for buyers. Petrol and diesel variants perform similarly poorly, both hovering around 75%, so fuel choice won't materially improve your odds.
These cars are running at a reasonable 94,851 miles median for their age, but they're accumulating an average of nearly 3 failures and 12 advisories per test, indicating persistent wear and systemic issues rather than one-off problems. Before committing to a 607, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the braking system, suspension, and emissions equipment—the areas that appear consistently problematic across this cohort.
The 2004 Peugeot 607 passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (75.5%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
These stats describe 1,103 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
