How we use engine sizes.
Peugeot 407 fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Peugeot 407 from 2004 to 2010. On the NEDC test (listings 2004 to 2010), official combined fuel economy for its petrol, diesel and other fuel versions ranges from 27.7 to 57.6 mpg, with CO2 of 129 to 242 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2004 to 2010
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2004 to 2010
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 “407 Saloon”, “407 SW”, “407 Coupé”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Peugeot 407 safety recalls
DVSA lists 15 safety recalls for the Peugeot 407 since 1992, the first in 2005. The most recent was launched on 5 July 2011.
Engine may stall
Launched 5 July 2011DVSA recall R/2011/079Manufacturer ref. ZAQ
Defect
It is possible for the engine to stall due to incorrect reading of oil levels during harsh and prolonged braking.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to download new software to the engine ECU.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Peugeot 407. 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.
