Peugeot 607 (2007)
2007 Peugeot 607
CarHunch analysed 160 real MOT records for the 2007 Peugeot 607. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Peugeot 607 is slightly less reliable than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of 75.6% against the national 80%, and nearly three in ten examples (26.9%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a genuine concern for used buyers. The diesel-dominated fleet (139 of 160 vehicles) shows no meaningful advantage, passing at 75.1%, suggesting fuel type isn't the issue here.
These cars are running around 100,000 miles on average for their age, which is typical, but they're accumulating failures—averaging 3.11 per test—alongside a heavy advisory count of 14.3, pointing to aging electrics, suspension wear, and general deterioration. Before buying, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on the braking system, suspension geometry, and electrical gremlins, as this model shows a pattern of accumulating issues rather than one critical weak spot.
What to check before buying a 2007 Peugeot 607
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.
- ⚠️ 26.9% 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.
