Have you had any problems with the car?
The Peugeot 207 suffers from a very common and serious issue. A coolant temperature sensor on the engine leaks, the water is then drawn up through the wiring loom by capilary action into the ECU and blows it. The cost of repair is about £1500. Google 'water ingress into the ecu' if you do not believe me. All the ECU specialists in the UK are aware of this issue but Peugeot still refuse to admit that there is a problem.
