Diesel against the other Peugeot 1007 versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 68.6% | 1,680 |
| Diesel | 61.1% | 303 |
| All Peugeot 1007 | 67.5% | 1,983 |
Why the fuel type changes the number
Diesels carry DPFs, EGR valves and stricter smoke limits, so emissions and exhaust faults account for failures petrol cars never see.
On the Peugeot 1007 specifically, petrol is the strongest at 68.6%, and this diesel version sits 6.4 points below the 67.5% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The diesel Peugeot 1007 fails more often than the model average, so budget for the items that catch this fuel type and treat a fresh MOT as worth paying for. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average diesel Peugeot 1007 had covered 87,368 miles at test, against 64,533 for the petrol. That is above average, the point where suspension bushes, drop links and exhaust corrosion start showing up as advisories before they become failures.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Peugeot 1007 page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
