Buying a used Peugeot 207 petrol manual things to look out for reliability issues failures great car

[@MrJason005]

I bought my Peugeot 207 and I had low hopes and opinions, but it's turned out to be surprising alright for a first car. Sure, they're cheap, the engine is weak, but it can take a beating. I've put it through a lot in the last 6 months, and considering it's a 15 year old car, it's still running. It's also really easy to repair, very repair-friendly design, and the parts are very cheap. It's an alright little car for getting about, nothing special, but I guess it gets you from point A to point B, and that's all you need from a car really.

this is the sort of videos i m looking for

Im really glad i have one :)

I really liked your video and i ll be checking for more, please try to keep your camera steady.

Thanks for the honest Kiwi friendly advise. I am going to buy 207

Really great video mate - these are very helpful - cheers! Just test drove a 207 2009 1.4vti today - your video was my guide! One issue was the engine light and anti-pollution warning light were on. Owner said the last two inspections the OBD sensor was changed (twice) and could be electronic. So the only issue here worries me, but the deal is pretty good for low mileage. Researching now what the worst case could be revealed by this OBD engine warning light (head gasket?)

[@Lifeless11111]

same here ,i just replaced the oil and cleaned vvt solennoid and the codes went away...

[@lewisrene7589]

I have one, very economical for a petrol.

[@markrobby7136]

That is the different. French Cars might be less reliable compare to the Japanese cars - but they are more reliable than Opel, BMW, The new Golf, and Audi with falling roofs. and they barely decay. I have had Mazda and it started to rust from the side and my Bro Honda was the same. But i see a lot of French Cars of over 20 yrs old, no sign of rust at all

[@Marco-iy7lt]

Yeah, the body's are galvanized.

[@caocau8859]

Pezo gavno - idk what you smoked on before going online and claiming French/Japanese cars are more reliable than German cars, lol. German made cars set the standard for quality.

[@toplespecah666]

So bmw is totally wasted for reliability 😂

[@andyg817]

Check for rust rear axle above fuel tank, chassis, and also if the timing chain has been done on the thp engines. . £££

[@FBISHOJI]

5:49 thinking of buying 206 with manual transmission used on Facebook marketplace with $2,000 as my first car. I wondered about reliability.

[@miloscvetkovic2633]

Peugeot 206 is reliable car, 1.6 16v engine could be problematic from time to time but nothing serious, only bolt on parts. 2k is too much for 206. Add 200-500 and get 207

[@muniroloko3584]

@@miloscvetkovic2633 i have a high pitches noise coming from the cam belt/ air filter area to the left of where you change the engine oil, i can’t quite understand where it’s coming from

They're ok.

[@paulwalton8759]

I have an oil leak just to the right of the radiator top tank as yiu said it was... It looks lik a sensor for something around the gear box?. This is my first Peugeot. Has anyone got any ideas what it could be thanks guys

[@MechanicalMentor]

Sorry no idea

[@Marco-iy7lt]

I had a similar problem until recently on my 207, i believe it turned out to be the oil pan on my car. It had been leaking for quite some time, but initially we could not see where it was stemming from. Your best bet is to ramp it up and have a look if it coming from the same area, if not, then have a look a the forums or a decent mechanic.

[@simonl1785]

I got a 207cc and ive had no problems with it

check the fuel pump, that the most common problem usually after over night it can be started again

I know that this is an old comment, however, I own a 207, 1.4 8 valve engine. It's just done 140k miles on the clock, and guess what? It's still working properly. Why? Because it has been driven properly, serviced with good quality parts.

[@asisqueezylovediary6474]

Question now i dont know what to choose 206 of 207? 1.6 motor

[@MechanicalMentor]

Asi&Squeezy Love Diary both ok 206 is smaller but lighter. If you dont need space go the 206. Good luck and check it all out very well. Dont forget cooking system and history. Dont fo just for great looks xox

[@asisqueezylovediary6474]

Mechanical Mentor yes i dont understand too much of cars but ill get something under 130000km he not miles. I saw one 52000 lol so will see. Now i hsve smart roadster what i like i lot but i need space and bigger motor :) my drivr stylr os dinamic so i kind of feel 207 ks slower than 206 . Still i hope someone comes with me to check most he can. Bc last two years i got lucky eith all the smart care came too much at once. Now all fixed pocket empty lol

[@Unknownstarz93]

I had a standard 206 for a year,, great car to run, only fault i had was electrics on my fan. Just brought a 207 GT and its also very nice to drive.

unreliable as fu. ecu and battery issues from day one for me.

[@filipemaia4286]

yep. I bought one though I live in Brazil. it's a readaptation of Peugeot 206 here, this car is fucking unreliable. it has battery issues, suspension frequent problems, and noises everywhere. the model launched in Brazil is even more trashy than the European version of 207.

[@BavarianM]

Never had trouble with my 207

[@filipemaia4286]

@@BavarianM The Brazilian version of 207 is a readaptation of 206. plus, the suspension reliability is not good because we have an awful asphalt quality here. the main reason why people complain about Peugeot here is the frequent repairs in the suspension.

[@colinmirandawhenureabastar1385]

WTF are you mumbling about

[@robotmad]

Rubbish cars don't buy one. we had a (2011) 207 1.4 diesel, manual, basic model . Electric steering rack failures we had 2 replaced in 3 years at £900 a time. Dash clocks drop out and repower while driving. ABS failures due to corroded cables. Temp reads high when cars stops momentarily then goes into limp mode then clears as you drive for 100 yards. Exhaust bracket fails (common problem).

[@-never-gonna-give-you-up-]

Then you bought a shitty car, not all Peugeots are the same

[@moodyguymick]

Mine's a 2011 and not had any of these problems. 1.6 Diesel, 82,000 miles.
