Peugeot 607 Production Data

Today, I received the production data for all Peugeot 607s produced from 1998 to 2010, manufactured at the Peugeot plants in Sochaux (FR) and Rennes (FR).

This to analyse the number of manufactured 607s with a 3.0-liter V6 engine, combined with a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Global 3.0l V6 + 5-speed manual gearbox analyses

Ai Findings

The actual number of Peugeot 607 with 24S engine and 5-speed manual gearbox (BV MECA 5) in 2002 is not explicitly listed, but likely to be in the low hundreds, based on historical sales trends and relative rarity.


Based on the available data, we can estimate the number of Peugeot 607 units produced in 2002 with the 3.0L V6 24-valve engine (24S) paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox (BV MECA 5).

Production Data Overview

From the production records:

  • Total 24S (3.0L V6) units produced in 2002: 3,369
  • Total BV MECA 5 (5-speed manual gearbox) units produced in 2002: 7,558

However, the data does not specify how many vehicles combined both the 24S engine and the BV MECA 5 gearbox.

Estimating the 24S + BV MECA 5 Combination

The 3.0L V6 engine was commonly paired with automatic transmissions, especially in higher trim levels. Manual transmissions were more prevalent in entry-level or mid-range trims.

Given that:

  • The 24S engine was available with both manual and automatic transmissions.
  • The BV MECA 5 gearbox was used across various engine types, not exclusively with the 24S.

It’s reasonable to estimate that a small fraction of the 3,369 24S units produced in 2002 were equipped with the BV MECA 5 gearbox.

Assuming that approximately 10–15% of the 24S units had the 5-speed manual transmission, we can estimate:

  • Estimated 24S + BV MECA 5 units in 2002: 337 to 505

Conclusion: Globally produced 3.0L V6 + 5-Speed manual transmission

While exact figures are unavailable, it’s estimated that between 337 and 505 Peugeot 607 units produced in 2002 featured the 3.0L V6 24-valve engine (24S) combined with the 5-speed manual gearbox (BV MECA 5).

Summary of Dutch 607 Registrations (as of June 2nd, 2025)

CategoryCount
Total 607s536
Petrol373
Diesel122
4-cylinder engines359
6-cylinder engines177
Built in 200249

Step-by-Step Estimate

1. Target Population The Netherlands: 6-cylinder Petrol Vehicles

  • The 3.0L 24S engine is a 6-cylinder petrol engine.
  • From the data:
    • 6-cylinder total: 177
    • Petrol total: 373
    • Assuming all 6-cylinder units are petrol (which is realistic), we focus on these 177 units.

2. Estimate 2002 6-cylinders

  • Total 2002-registered vehicles: 49
  • Assuming the 6-cylinder share (33%) is consistent among 2002 vehicles:
    • 33% × 49 = ~16 vehicles from 2002 with a 6-cylinder engine.

3. Share of 24S with BV MECA 5 (manual 5-speed)

  • As estimated earlier, 10–15% of 24S models in 2002 came with the 5-speed manual.
  • Applying that range to the ~16 vehicles:
    • 10% of 16 = ~1.6
    • 15% of 16 = ~2.4

So, the likely number of Peugeot 607s with 3.0L 24S engine and BV MECA 5 gearbox from 2002 still registered in the Netherlands is:

Estimated: 1 to 3 vehicles
