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.

Beware. The diesel engine anti pollution system is very complicated. There is an additive tank and pump system that meters additive to the fuel tank based on sensing the fuel cap on/off and fuel volume! It needs an additive tank to be filled eventually but in my case prematurely due to the lousy engine management computer giving false info.
Cables that release seats have worn out on two rear seats.
Now the final straw the timing belt went at 64k. Engine knackered and it cost £500 to find that out. Replacement/repair cost is more than value of vehicle.
Shame it was great to drive, comfortable and spacious - would I buy another one - no way. Steer clear.

We liked the car's space and toys etc., but quickly realised why the previous owner had sold it at 18 months from new.
This has been the most unreliable car I have ever experienced. Something goes wrong in this car every month. We even left a set of keys with the dealer it spends sp much time there. It feels like the entire car has been replaced one bit at a time, but even so it still keeps breaking. Spending around £3k per annum on repairs, now it's off warranty. Have finally traded in the car - hope the dealer doesn't go bust without our repair income!

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.

Not too bad on fuel consumption compared to other MPVs. We had a high spec executive model and still had loads of problems with it. alarms having a mind of their own. tyre pressure markers falling off so therefore leaving you with permanent flashing warnings. Now anti-pollution fault which is really expensive to fix. We are fixing it up and selling it on.

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.

This is my second Peugeot 807 2.2 HDI GLX. The first one was always at the garage getting little things fixed, and then getting the same things fixed again. Still it was a good car to drive and very practical for the kids, especially the sliding doors and removable seats. I took a risk that the unreliability was a one-off and traded it in for another. Big mistake! My second car has broken down 3 times in 3 months and it is only 8 months old. Do not buy this car.

Would never ever ever buy Peugeot again after having an 807 constantly failing electrics and electronics fobbed off by garage who never took responsibility or gave customer support. Expensive servicing, £300 to change the oil and kick the tyres! Complete and total rubbish all round worst car buying experience of my life...Back to Audi and Mitsubishi great service great quality!

Would not buy Peugeot cars ever again due to problems with this car, plus my 206 that I had problems with also.

You have my full sympathies every problem you described we had and more; first year we had the car it spent 16 weeks in the garage. Sound as though you got a better one!!!

Well car has been given back to me with confirmation that Security problem sorted.
<br>
<br>Within 5 mins of me having the car the Anti Pollution warning came on again.
<br>
<br>They could not resolve this until the New Year.
<br>
<br>Developed fault twice during the festive period and also engine immobilizer warning came on once.
<br>
<br>They will again take the car back and give me a hire car (again 807) until problem resolved.

Just thought that I would update my comment:-
<br>
<br>Car has been into dealers a further 3 times now.
<br>
<br>Anti Pollution Fault still appears and are having problem with alarm keeps going off when large lorries pass (in a line of over 40 cars mine is the only one that does go off).
<br>
<br>Not impressed with TOP GEAR report, but cannot disagree as will never buy a Peugeot again.
<br>
<br>Dealers did give me a hire car (Paid by Peugeot) while car was being fixed. However on the 2nd day of driving the car the "Brake Fault" appeared on the display.
<br>
<br>Did not drive car beyond house and got my car back until they fixed hire car first.
<br>
<br>Hire car was also 807 (reg. 55 mine 53). Appears they are still having problems!
