Peugeot 1007: a compact city car with sliding doors
The Peugeot 1007 (2004–2009) is a small city hatchback distinguished by its electrically operated sliding rear doors. We look at the engines, trims, and what to check when buying one of these cars.
The Peugeot 1007 in brief
The 1007 is a short, tall city car whose main feature is its sliding doors. These make it easy to get in and out in tight parking spots, but they are one of the more complex and expensive parts to fix on the car.
This model is primarily suited to the city: a small turning circle, comfortable driving position, but a small boot, and the price in the used market often depends on its condition.
Which version to choose
The 1007 was produced from 2004 to 2009 with only minor changes during production. More important than the year of manufacture are the condition of the doors, engine, and gearbox.
When choosing, pay attention to the gearbox: there is a manual and an automated (Sensodrive). The automated box can be fussy to maintain, so many buyers opt for the manual.
Engines and gearboxes
The petrol engines are 1.4 and 1.6 litres, and the diesel is a 1.4 HDi. All are fairly straightforward and economical, suitable for city use.
The gearbox is a 5-speed manual or automated, which the manufacturer called Sensodrive.
What to check when buying a used 1007
Test the sliding doors multiple times: they should open and close smoothly, without juddering or error messages. Repairing the door mechanism or engines can be costly.
Check the operation of the automatic gearbox, the condition of the clutch and the history of the timing belt change. Also — the electrical equipment and air conditioning.

Frequently asked questions
Are sliding doors reliable?
They're comfortable but complex, so they can wear out with age. Test drive them extensively before buying.
Which gearbox should you choose?
For most, a manual is simpler and cheaper to fix. Only opt for an automated gearbox if it's running smoothly and has a service history.
Is the 1007 suitable for a family?
It might be, but the boot and interior space are limited, so the car is better suited to one or two people and urban use.
