Please, please, please do not buy, regardless however cheap they appear to be. Even if they have full main dealer service history which mine does, this counts for nothing. The electrical problems are minor compared to the problems the 2.2 HDI diesel engine will throw up. Even Peugeot mechanics admit that the engine is too complicated and very unreliable. My Peugeot garage openly admits that the 807 is the worse car they have made to date. Like almost every owner, you will experience cambelt problems (do catch them early), particulate filter problems, turbo problems, egr valve problems ~ all of which required replacement at incredible cost. My car has done fewer than 80K so I wouldn't say its had a particularly hard life. However, if you look at the forums, 80K is about the limit for these engines even if they are well maintained. Engine access is a real issue for the turbo and egr valve replacement as it is positioned somewhere under the radio! I currently have an intermittent acceleration problem which is proving very hard for the garage to locate. As soon as I get this fixed, I am selling.

Loved this car at first, so easy having sliding doors. However computer started going wrong and Peugeot could not fix - they did not have the right software!! Now the cam belt has failed at 77K Change recommended at 96k. Am reading so many problems with premature cam belt failure on the 2004-6 model as engine housing open to elements. Local dealer in Banbury does not want to know. We are pursuing under the SOGA and will see what happens. Beware!

rubish car my peugeot 807 spend mor time at the garage than in my driveway. after 2 years gearbox went off cost me £2000 from peugeot dealer with 1 year guaranty.now turbo went off and anti-pollution system. im just sick and tired of this car

We have bought a Peugeot 807 in 2004 in Sweden and after a few months it was already in for problems: antipollution faults and oil pressure insufficient. We have been in and out and spent a lot of money and time. Two weeks ago the motor has failed and we have to spend 6000 euro to fix it: the value of the car.

We bought a 406 which was pretty good for about 3 years so then bought a Peugeot 807... big mistake. The 807 was trouble from the day we brought it home and the 406 started playing up soon after. Both refuse to rev above 3000rpm with huge loss of power. Today I have driven up a hill in Richmond at 10mph and travelled 10 miles along the motorway at 45mph and that is top speed!
The worst car I have ever had the misfortune to own. I am stuck with them both as they are unsellable and I can't afford to simply go and buy another! The 807 has now packed up completely (on the A1 at 11.30pm when I had three 6 year olds with me! Oh yes and the temp was -2 and it decided to open all its windows and refuse to shut them again!) it is parked up with sheet over it, a useless pile of scrap.

Very very poor durabilty of diesel engine, injectors failed at 9400 and were seized up, could not be removed. Heard of another case like this also.
Have currently 3 peugeots in family, will never buy another. After complete disinterest by Peugeot customer care, after diesel engine failed at 9400 miles. Beware.

Would never buy another Peugeot. Cam belt broke at 5200. Electrical problems from new. Local dealer can not help.

The Peugeot 807 is a nice car to drive but it is badly let down by shakey electronics and an extremely poor engine fault warning system. Although reliable enough, one always has the feeling it is going to break down or bleep a fault at you. The car could have been stellar, if only more time had been spent sorting out the electrics. The faults are relatively small and there is nothing to complain about the drive, but the small problems have the ability to annoy and frustrate beyond measure. There is a mini cab drivers avoid the 807. I will not be owning mine for much longer. Buy a Previa instead. Three words - 'anti pollution fault'. This is a major problem as (a) it does off all the time and (b) it does not actually tell you what is wrong with the car. I have had it eight times in 18 months and the problems have ranged from nothing to a new turbo seal. I have also been told by my dealer that it is not suitable for inner city life (school runs etc) and that it needs regular basts on the motorway to avoid anti pollution fault problems. Given that the vast majority of people use it for depositing their offspring at the school gates one has to wonder why this problem was not engineered out of the production version. I have has four months of no antil pollution fault - so my fingers remain firmly crossed. However I find myself worrying I am going to end up on the side of the road everytime I turn the ignition key, and that is unacceptable in a modern car - particularly one that is full of kids. The hand brake is perhaps the worst of any modern car. I am quite tall and find myself having to perform a painful yoga routine everytime it is used.
You will also have to disable the alarm (which thankfully is easy) because it goes off for no reason, all the time. The electronic doors on my car have been faultless, but the seats have fits every now and then and 'adjust' without any prompting from me.

Dealer fobbed me off with pathetic excuses. Eventually after 2.5 years and ruined life/holidays dealer agreed to "a deal" on another Peugeot 807 on basis that this may have been a bad car! One of my biggest mistakes ever! Now 2 years into ownership it was towed to garage with multiple electrical faults which RAC suggested due to dampness in electronics. After only 2 years ? Awaiting further excuses but ready for them this time. May take it to "The Judge" in the mail if no satisfaction. I can't keep on losing money like this and having my life disrupted REPEATEDLY. Will never buy Peugeot again.

Today was to be the third attempt at us trying to get the faulty gearbox problem in our Peugeot 807 fixed. Intermittently a warning comes up and it says faulty gearbox, warning light stays on.
Twice previously has been in dealers and seems resolved till next time. Today my husband was told that they cant fix it for 7 weeks as they are waiting on a software download programme being made up by Peugeot to rectify the problem. Have tried Peugeot Customer Care was told we couldn't speak to a Line Manager and it would take till Tuesday at 5pm being the earliest before they could get back to us, as they need to build a case to see if we are entitled to a courtesy car, we were told this on Friday morning. Totally disappointed with car, dealership and Peugeot.

It is the most unreliable car that I have ever owned. I lost £1000 when I traded it in, but it was money well lost. If you buy this car make sure you get a warranty with it, because you will need it!!!

The anti-pollution fault on the Peugeot 807 2.2 HDI GLX kept coming on no matter what was repaired, and it took a Peugeot dealer 3 weeks to respond to my call, after a nudge in the right direction. There were problems with electrics, as lights would come on for no reason, and the indicators would go crazy. I'm never going to buy a Peugeot again.

As with previous reviews. My 807 was recalled by manufacturer 3 times.
Electric wing mirrors stick closed regularly, hand brake cable brakes and the reversing lights and warning bleeper stopped working. Back end pulley on engine has broken and surprisingly the garage fitted a new one straight away as they had a spare on the shelf... so that hasn't happened before?!
