Looking at a 407?

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 407 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the 407 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 56,547 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 5,469 in 2026 Q1, down 90%. That is down 72% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 6,274 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 11,743 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.

407 MOT pass rate

In 2024, 53.6% of 8,427 Peugeot 407 MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 51.2% of cars aged 10–14 years passed first time, against 54% aged 15–30 years.

  • Transmission — 10.3% of tests. A fault with a driveshaft, gaiter or transmission component. Costs vary widely.
  • Position Lamps — 8% of tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Brake Performance — 7.9% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
  • Washers — 7.3% of tests. Empty or blocked washers. Trivial, but again a sign of the last owner's care.

Before you buy

  • Transmission — 10.3% of tests in 2024. A fault with a driveshaft, gaiter or transmission component. Costs vary widely.
  • Position Lamps — 8% of tests in 2024. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Brake Performance — 7.9% of tests in 2024. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
  • Washers — 7.3% of tests in 2024. Empty or blocked washers. Trivial, but again a sign of the last owner's care.
  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 11,743 407 vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (6,274 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 90% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 56,547. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual 407 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
