Peugeot 807 (2007)
2007 Peugeot 807
CarHunch analysed 1,398 real MOT records for the 2007 Peugeot 807. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Peugeot 807 is significantly less reliable than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of just 66.4% against the typical 80%—and nearly half of these vehicles (48%) have recorded dangerous defects during MOT testing, which is a serious red flag for buyers. Petrol and diesel versions perform almost identically poorly at 66–67% pass rates, so fuel choice won't improve your odds.
These MPVs are running at moderate mileage for their age (median 87,065 miles), but they're prone to trouble, averaging 5.71 failures and 22.8 advisories per test. Before committing to one, insist on a full pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic and budget heavily for repairs, particularly around braking and suspension systems where dangerous defects cluster.
What to check before buying a 2007 Peugeot 807
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.
- ⚠️ 48% 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.
