Is the Peugeot 207 ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 157,945 MOT tests, around 66% of Peugeot 207s still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 34% are likely to be charged.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 66% petrol, 34% diesel. Every petrol 207 in the data (2006 onwards) is likely to be compliant. Diesel 207s in the data are mostly from years that are unlikely to comply.

How ULEZ rules apply to the 207
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Petrol (66% of 207s tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Diesel (34% of 207s tested): most cars in our data are from years unlikely to comply.
207s from 2014 sit on the boundary (0% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Peugeot can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Peugeot 207 for London: what the MOT data shows
The Peugeot 207s in this data were first registered between 2006 and 2014. 2009 was the most common year, with 29,449 tests (19% of the total), and half were registered in 2009 or later.
207s from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 51% of the time, at an average of 84,247 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 51% of the time with 83,444 miles on average.
Whichever year you choose, check the 207's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (13.8% of tests); body and structure: "constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt" (9.4%); suspension: "fractured or broken" (7.4%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 20.0% of tests.
Overall, 51% of 207s passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 83,927 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
