The Peugeot 407 was built from 2004 to 2011.
For this generation we cover 4 engines and 16 known faults, each with the mileage range where it usually appears.
The most expensive known risk is Turbo failure (oil starvation, 16v): it usually appears at 80,000–200,000 km and costs €700–1,600 to fix.
In UK roadworthiness tests in 2024, at 150–200 thousand km this model most often failed on: lights, wipers and visibility (26.7 %), brakes (16.4 %), suspension (13.6 %). It fails more often than an average car of the same age and mileage on: brakes, body and corrosion. It fails less often than average on: suspension, exhaust, emissions and leaks.
