The Peugeot 807 is a large MPV (Eurovan) designed for spacious family transport. Sharing its platform with the Citroën C8, Fiat Ulysse, and Lancia Phedra, it provides ample space and practicality. In New Zealand, it offered a French alternative to vans.
Electrical issues are common across the Eurovan platform. Diesel models suffer from DPF issues and EGR valve problems. Sliding door mechanisms can also cause problems. Suspension components may wear out prematurely due to the vehicle's weight.
Check the sliding doors for smooth and reliable operation. Inspect the suspension for wear, focusing particularly on the rear. Check for rust, especially around the sills and wheel arches. Ensure all seatbelts function correctly. Pay close attention to the diesel particulate filter (DPF) on diesel models, looking for warning lights or signs of issues.
The Peugeot 807 prioritizes passenger comfort and space. Its flexible seating, and sliding doors make it practical for hauling larger families with ease. The petrol options can be thirsty, so the diesel models were more fuel efficient.
From a Heritage & Heart perspective: The Peugeot 807, while a common European sight is also not uncommon in NZ as a reliable workhorse.
