Quick summary

The 2006 Peugeot 207 has an overall defect rate of 377 per 100 vehicles, which is slightly higher than the average of 369 per 100 vehicles for that year, indicating a 2% increase in defects. Notably, the model performs exceptionally well in the categories of brakes and steering, with significantly lower failure rates compared to the average. However, it stands out negatively in lights and electrics, where the defect rate is considerably higher than the average. As mileage increases, the defect rate also tends to rise, particularly in the highest mileage bracket (over 124,000 miles), where it reaches 505 defects per 100 vehicles. Overall, while the Peugeot 207 has some strengths, it faces challenges that potential buyers should consider, particularly regarding its electrical systems.
