What the reviews say

• Owners particularly value the spacious cabin, comfort and suitability for long family journeys.[1][5][6]
• The 807 is easy to drive and keeps pace in city traffic, although acceleration feels heavy compared with a regular passenger car.[1]one source
• Aggregated owner ratings give the model 4.6 overall, 4.9 for comfort and 4.7 for handling.[5]one source
• A configurable cabin with middle-row seats that can slide, be removed or face rearward adds versatility.[6]one source

Typical faults

• On the 2.2 HDi, loss of power and turbo shutdown can stem from the swirl diaphragm, intake flaps, vacuum controls or incorrectly connected hoses.[2]one source

  2.2 HDi

• On one 2.2 HDi at 190,000 km, the additive-dosing sensor failed; low additive then clogged the FAP, and forced regeneration did not help.[1]one source

  190 000–190 000 km · 2.2 HDi

• Reports include oxidised contacts and electrical faults affecting the central locking, wipers, display, alarm, lighting and BSI module.[3][6]
• Control-arm bushes and ball joints are described as wear items that typically need replacement every 60,000–80,000 km.[6]one source

  60 000–80 000 km

• In regions with heavy winter road-salt use, corrosion can affect the lower door edges, sills and wheel arches.[6]one source

Which engine and version to take

• An owner rates the manual 2.2 HDi as a good balance of power, performance and economy; another discussion calls it one of the better engines.[1][4]
• The 2.0 HDi is praised for torque and economy, with the source citing about 7–8 L/100 km in mixed driving.[6]one source

What to avoid

• A petrol version with the AL4 automatic is the riskier choice: the gearbox is described as temperamental, heat-sensitive and dependent on regular oil changes.[6]one source

What to check at the inspection

• Before purchase, run full computer diagnostics covering injector corrections, fuel pressure, turbo data and stored faults.[1][4][6]
• On a 2.2 HDi, inspect the swirl mechanism, intake flaps, vacuum solenoids and routing of every vacuum hose.[2]one source
• On a diesel, check FAP condition, additive level and the dosing sensor; a fault can leave the filter too clogged for regeneration.[1]one source
• Test the central locking, sliding doors, windows, wipers, alarm, displays and lights; assess the BSI with a specialist scanner.[3][6]
• Inspect the lower door edges, sills, arches and underside carefully for corrosion, leaks and evidence of previous body repairs.[4][6]
• Do not trust the odometer alone: compare it with service records and inspect the rear of the instrument panel, where access to the memory chip has been reported.[4]one source
