Peugeot 207 insurance groups and cost by driver’s age

When it comes to working out the cost of your car insurance, all vehicles are given a specific insurance group that ranges from 1 (cheapest) to 50 (most expensive), which helps determine the cost of your premium. Peugeot 207 models range from insurance groups 5 to 28, so the cost of insurance can vary significantly. For example, a 30-year-old driver in an average postcode could pay around £498 for cover on a Peugeot 207 1.4 HDi Urban 3d, or around £743 for a Peugeot 207 1.6 16V GTi THP 175bhp 3d.

How can I save on my Peugeot 207 premiums?

No one wants to pay through the nose for their car insurance, so we’ve devised a list of tips that could help to keep your premiums affordable. Our advice includes:

• Pay annually rather than monthly. By paying annually, you could save an average of £66.33 a year.
• Make yourself a secure investment. The more you appeal to your provider, the lower your premiums may become. You can do this by keeping a clean history of no claims and a good credit rating.
• Be economical about your car usage. By opting for public transport or walking, you will keep your mileage, and your premiums, lower – plus, you’ll save money on petrol!
• Don’t just accept your renewal quote. Renewal quotes aren’t always the best option out there, so make sure you look around before accepting yours.
• Install extra safety precautions. Providers don’t like to insure risks, so the safer and more secure you can make your vehicle, the lower your premiums may be.
• Avoid driving convictions. Driving convictions hike up your premiums, so do your best to avoid any.

  Depending on the model version, you can expect a Peugeot 207 to reach a top speed of 125 miles per hour.

• Is the Peugeot 207 safe?

  The Peugeot 207 was tested by Euro NCAP under their old testing system in 2006.

In addition, the 207 scored 3/4 for its pedestrian safety, with it being noted in the comments that the bumper scored maximum marks for protection, but areas of the bonnet and windscreen only offered marginal protection.

  As previously mentioned, the safer you can make your car, the lower your premiums may become. You may wish to invest in some optional safety features, however, it is worth noting that the extra safety features for the 207 are fairly limited.

This feature works to prevent your car from skidding by monitoring its behaviour and ensuring it stays gripped to the road.
