Is the Peugeot 407 ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 11,586 MOT tests, around 6% of Peugeot 407s still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 91% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 3%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 91% diesel, 9% petrol. Diesel 407s in the data are mostly from years that are unlikely to comply. Every petrol 407 in the data (2004 onwards) is likely to be compliant.

How ULEZ rules apply to the 407
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).
- Diesel (91% of 407s tested): most cars in our data are from years unlikely to comply.
- Petrol (9% of 407s tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.

Buying a used Peugeot 407 for London: what the MOT data shows
The Peugeot 407s in this data were first registered between 2004 and 2011. 2007 was the most common year, with 2,505 tests (22% of the total), and half were registered in 2007 or later.
407s from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 53% of the time, at an average of 122,625 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 54% of the time with 121,787 miles on average.
On a budget, the oldest petrol 407s likely to comply are from 2006. 304 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 53% of the time and averaged 124,155 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the 407's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (13.1% of tests); body and structure: "constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt" (9.8%); suspension: "ball joint excessively worn" (7.0%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 22.5% of tests.
Overall, 54% of 407s passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 121,837 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
