The 407 was Peugeot's midsize car from 2004 to 2011, sold as a saloon, the 407 SW estate, and the elegant 407 Coupé before the 508 replaced it. Engines ranged from 1.8- and 2.0-litre petrol units to the popular 2.0 HDi and V6 petrol and diesel engines. Many 407s were company cars and have covered high mileage, so a VIN check is a valuable way to confirm the accident, ownership, mileage, and recall history before you buy.
