Introducing the Peugeot 4007, a stylish and practical compact SUV produced between 2007 and 2013.

With its distinct design and efficient performance, the 4007 stands out as a budget-friendly option that promises reliability and comfort for any adventure. Let’s explore what makes this vehicle a lasting favorite.
Common issues include timing chain wear (especially on petrol models), EGR valve problems (diesels), and potential issues with the 4WD system. Check for oil leaks around the engine and transmission. Suspension components, particularly bushes and ball joints, can wear out prematurely on rough Kiwi roads. The electrics can be sensitive; check all lights and functions work.
Pay close attention to suspension components - check for excessive play in ball joints and worn bushes. Ensure all lights, including indicators and brake lights, are functioning correctly. Rust can be a concern, particularly around the wheel arches and underbody, so inspect carefully. Tyre condition and tread depth are always critical.
The Peugeot 4007 encapsulates the ideal blend of practicality and contemporary design. Built on a trusted platform shared with Mitsubishi, this SUV offers a robust construction that promises longevity.
