Thinking of buying a 2007 Peugeot 407.

Thinking of buying a 2007 Peugeot 407. Full service history and Cartell.ie report available, 48k miles on the clock. NCT to May 2017. Cost is €3,900. This seems low. Am I missing something and why are used Peugeots cheaper than other cars of same year?

Hi Aiden,

No, you're not missing anything. French cars, and big French saloons in particular, always suffer staggering depreciation and the 407 is not a car that's especially loved by the used trade. 

There's nothing much mechanically wrong with them but make sure you check that all of the electrical bits and pieces are working, and check the cabin for loose or ill-fitting pieces of trim. Then check the suspension, especially at the front, for any damage. Listen for clonking or knocking noises and check the tyres for signs of uneven wear.
