What to look out for when buying a used Peugeot 107. Build quality isn’t the 107’s forté; this is a car that’s built down to a price. However, the car’s simplicity helps with reliability as there’s not much to go wrong. You still need to check for water in the boot, though, as the door, light and aerial seals can all fail.Comfort, Performance and Economy in a svelte shape. I have a 407 coupe 2.7 HDi, silver and black leather. It is comfortable, fast, very smooth and awesomely quiet at speeds up to 160kph. Economy is about 7.5l/100km with mixed driving. Six speed auto gearbox is especially smooth shifting and quiet. Now I have a 407 2lt Hdi 16v SW and it's sooooooooooooooooo unreliable. To date Rear wiper seized solid. Engine tray vanished. EGR valve failed causing limp mode and then stop. Fuel pump failed causing limp, stop and lots of metal floating around a full fuel system, complete fuel system drain and rebuild. FAP filter failed.
Peugeot is very keen to impress on the press that the 407 is a working car. 70% of 407s will sell to fleets. 75% will be diesels. The company knows a 407 can never meet aspirations fulfilled by a 3 Series or a C Class. It’s a business tool, up against Mondeos, Lagunas and Vectras.
I want to buy a peugeot diesel estate about 5yrs old. Do not know much about the differences between the 406 407 or 307. Someone has suggested the 206 but a bit small? Which has the best mpg is most reliable/sought after? I have heard the 307 is pretty unreliable has niggly little faults. hXU9jca.
