Looking at a 207?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular 207 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the 207 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 279,542 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 97,717 in 2026 Q1, down 65%. That is down 53% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 19,047 are declared SORN — 1 in 6 of the 116,764 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

207 MOT pass rate

In 2024, 49.9% of 107,000 Peugeot 207 MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 51.5% of cars aged 10–14 years passed first time, against 48.4% aged 15–30 years.

  • Transmission — 9.7% of tests. A fault with a driveshaft, gaiter or transmission component. Costs vary widely.
  • Headlamp Aim — 9.5% of tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
  • Position Lamps — 9.1% of tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Exhaust Emissions — 7.4% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
