2006 Peugeot 807 reviews

Peugeot 807 2.0 HDi SE 2006

I have owned my 807 Since 2007 and bought the car as a low mileage 1 owner from a Peugeot dealership. Initially the car was great. I have to agree that the interior is smart, the front seats can move to face the rear and the handling is fine for a big car. On long journeys the car comes into its own with cruise control and electric everything. Initially there were a few problems with electric window controls which were fixed on warranty. The 807 now has 35000 miles on the clock and it is starting to have problems. At around 32000 miles the dashboard began to illuminate with a whole host of problems. The worst by far is the "anti pollution system faulty" error message. This IS a problem associated with Peugeot models fitted with HDi. Had I known about this prior to purchase I would never have bought it. The dealership tell me that these cars "hate short trips". I would have thought that lots of buyers use the cars for short trips. Never the less this can lead to £1000 worth of repairs to the depollution filter system in the 807. I’m considering part excahnging the car now, I don’t want this again after another short trip! Nice car, but BEWARE you have been warned!!
