The 2004 Peugeot 807 is a notably unreliable proposition: its 68.7% first-time pass rate sits well below the UK average of 80%, and over a third of these vehicles (33.6%) have recorded dangerous defects during their MOT history. Diesel and petrol variants perform similarly poorly, with pass rates of 69.0% and 67.0% respectively, so fuel choice won't rescue you here.
These 807s are typically high-mileage examples at 20 years old, sitting at a median of 80,175 miles, yet they still average 4.64 failures and 15.7 advisories per test, suggesting wear and deterioration are relentless. If you're considering one, budget for serious repair work—the dangerous defect rate alone should be a red flag, and you'll want a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection that specifically checks brakes, suspension and steering systems before committing.
The 2004 Peugeot 807 has a below-average first-time pass rate (68.7% vs ~80% UK average) — check the specific vehicle's full MOT history carefully before buying.
