Used Peugeot 407 for sale in Europe

About the Peugeot 407

The Peugeot 407 is a large family car that replaced the 406 in 2004. It was sold as a four-door saloon, as the SW estate and, from 2005, as a two-door coupé. It suits drivers who want a roomy, comfortable car for motorway miles and family use.

Engines cover petrol and diesel. Petrol units range from 1.8 and 2.0 litre four-cylinders to a 3.0 litre V6. Diesels include the 1.6, 2.0 and 2.2 HDi, plus a 2.7 litre V6 twin-turbo. Gearboxes were manual or automatic, depending on engine.

Listings we see span model years 2004 to 2011 and include petrol, diesel and LPG cars. The LPG examples are usually aftermarket conversions, so paperwork and installation quality need checking. Equipment, condition and service history differ widely between cars and countries.

Generations

• 407 (2004-2011) — The 407 was built as a single generation, with a styling update during its production life and the coupé added in 2005.

Typical prices

Asking prices in our listings are fairly close across most model years. Medians for 2004 to 2009 cars sit in a narrow band, and the overall median is €2,500. The middle half of listings runs from €1,500 to €3,500. Model year explains only part of the spread. Mileage, engine, service history and condition matter as much. Cars from 2010 are asked more, with a median of €3,200. Very few 2011 cars are listed, so that year says little. These are asking prices in our listings on 2026-11-10, not a valuation.

What to check when buying a used Peugeot 407

Ask for the full service history and look at the car in daylight. Take a test drive that includes slow manoeuvres, a rough road and a motorway stretch, then read the dashboard for warning lights.

• Front suspension wear

  Listen for knocks and clunks over bumps and when turning. Worn wishbone bushes, ball joints, track rod ends and drop links are widely discussed on these cars. Check tyre wear for uneven edges, which can point to worn parts or poor alignment.

• Injectors and diesel particulate filter · Diesel engines

  Check for rough idle, smoke, hesitation or a warning light. Ask whether the injectors or turbo have been serviced. On cars with a particulate filter, ask about the additive top-up and whether short trips have been typical.

• Clutch and flywheel · Manual gearboxes

  Feel for judder, a heavy pedal or vibration at idle. Many diesels have a dual-mass flywheel, which can be costly to replace together with the clutch. Ask if the clutch has been renewed and request the invoice.

• Gearbox behaviour · Automatic gearboxes

  Drive through every gear, cold and warm. Look for harsh or delayed changes and flaring between gears. Ask whether the gearbox oil has been changed, since service intervals for automatics are often debated. Walk away from clear faults.

• Electrics and warning lights

  Test windows, central locking, climate control, parking sensors, the handbrake and the dashboard display. Electrical faults can be intermittent, so have the car scanned for stored fault codes. Check that all warning lights go out after start-up.

• Quality of LPG fitting · LPG conversions

  Check that the LPG system is an approved installation with paperwork, and ask when it was last inspected. Confirm that the car runs smoothly on both fuels. Look at the tank, hoses and mounting for leaks or corrosion.

• Body, underside and leaks

  Look for rust on sills, wheel arches and underbody, and for signs of past accident repair such as uneven panel gaps. Check the sunroof drains if fitted, and look for damp carpets, which can indicate leaks.
