2009 Peugeot 407: petrol or diesel?
Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.
Petrol
47% pass first time (all 2009 cars: 59%)
Nothing stands out above the usual rate
145 MOTsSee the petrol guide ›
Diesel

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
