How many Peugeot 207s are left in Great Britain?
There were 92,696 Peugeot 207s licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 16,805 declared off the road (SORN).
That is 65.6% fewer than the peak of 269,821 in 2013.
Peugeot 207s licensed in Great Britain
Numbers peaked in 2013 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.
In 2025, 50.2% of Peugeot 207 MOT tests were passed first time,
against 72.8% for all cars.
Cars of the same ages as the Peugeot 207s tested pass 60.4% of the time, so the Peugeot 207 does worse than average for its age, by 10.2 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 50.1%.

9 years of the Peugeot 207, by year of first registration, have their own page with MOT results, common faults, mileage and how many are left. Against all cars of the same age, the 2014 cars did best at their 2025 MOT (68.7% passed first time) and the 2011 cars worst (50.4%).
Registered: cars on the DVLA record at the end of the year they were first registered (these counts start in 2014, so older years show a dash). Left:
licensed or declared SORN at the end of 2025.
Both cover the United Kingdom. Pass rate: first-time passes at normal MOT tests in Great
Britain in 2025; all cars: every car first registered the same year.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN
excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page.
How we use engine sizes.
Peugeot 207 fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Peugeot 207 from 2006 to 2014. On the NEDC test (listings 2006 to 2014), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 38.1 to 74.3 mpg, with CO2 of 98 to 173 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2006 to 2014
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2006 to 2014
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “207”, “207 SW”, “207 CC”, “207 Hatchback”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Peugeot 207 safety recalls
DVSA lists 18 safety recalls for the Peugeot 207 since 1992, the first in 2006. The most recent was launched on 2 June 2016.
Battery may discharge and/or heated seats may overheat
Launched 2 June 2016DVSA recall R/2016/118Manufacturer ref. HJA
Defect
On the affected vehicles the electrical harnesses connecting the heated seats may under certain conditions and over time cause the heated seats to either not work or to operate permanently. This may cause the battery to discharge and can be uncomfortable/distracting to the driver.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the two affected harnesses. If necessary the harnesses will be modified.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Peugeot 207. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
