Service and inspection
My 207 was serviced at Peugeot, odometer @ 86.060 km.
This was a 4-year basic service, and the car was also taken to the mandatory government vehicle inspection. Inspection must be performed when the car is 4 years old, and every 2nd year after that.
The service and inspection was troublefree, no problems found. The cruise control problem was also resolved, this time it was a switch associated with the clutch which caused the intermittent shut off of the cruise control. Luckily, this was not an expensive repair.
The complete service and inspection, including repair of the cruise control, was € 500,- including VAT. If this is once a year (which it is in my case), I think it is a fair cost.
Been a while since I wrote an update on fuel economy; currently I reach 22 km/l (4.5l/100km if you prefer it this way…). I find this very satisfactory since I do most of the driving in quite heavy traffic on the highway.

Service due on 15 September 2010
I will take my 207 for service on 15 September 2010. The car is 4 years old and I expect this to be a regular service. I mentioned the minor problem with the cruise control sometimes failing (switching off for no apparent reason). Apart from that I don’t know of any problems so far.
It is also time for the first mandatory government vehicle inspection, but at 4 years of age I certainly don’t foresee any problems in getting the approval. Peugeot who is performing the service will also take the car for vehicle inspection.
I will let you know about the results in a couple of weeks!
And dammit! When I drove to the recycling dump I got too close to the steel pole holding the magnetic card reader for access! The left mirror was hit.
