About the Peugeot 207 CC
Launched in 2007, the Peugeot 207 CC combined the practicality of the 207 hatchback with a retractable metal roof that folded in under 25 seconds. Available with a choice of petrol engines including 1.6-litre VTi and turbocharged THP units, the 207 CC offered a balance of style and everyday usability. Production continued until 2014, with GT and Sport trims providing sportier styling and equipment. The car seats four, though rear passengers have limited headroom even with the roof up.
What Affects the Price of a Used Peugeot 207 CC
Age and mileage are primary factors, with early 2007-2009 models now available from around £5,000, whilst low-mileage later examples can reach £12,000 or more. The turbocharged THP models command a premium over standard 1.6 VTi versions. Condition of the folding roof mechanism is critical — any faults can be expensive to repair and significantly reduce value. Service history is essential, particularly evidence of cambelt changes. GT models with leather upholstery, climate control and upgraded alloys are worth more than base Sport trims. Colour affects desirability, with metallic shades preferred over solid colours.
Tips for Buying a Used Peugeot 207 CC
Test the roof mechanism thoroughly in both directions, listening for unusual noises and checking all latches engage properly. Inspect the roof drains for blockages which can cause water ingress into the cabin and boot. Check the cambelt has been replaced at recommended intervals (every 10 years or 112,000 miles for most engines). Examine the interior for water damage, musty smells or electrical faults which may indicate roof seal problems. Look for corrosion around the roof mounting points and windscreen frame. Ensure the air conditioning works correctly — repairs can be costly. Verify all electrical systems function, as window regulators and central locking can be problematic. Choose a car with full service history from Peugeot dealers or specialists who understand the roof system.
