Is the Peugeot 2008 ULEZ compliant?

Most petrol Peugeot 2008s from 2006 and diesels from September 2015 meet the Euro standards for London ULEZ and other UK clean-air zones, so they are generally exempt from the daily charge. Pure-electric versions are always exempt.

What insurance group is the Peugeot 2008 in?

The Peugeot 2008 sits in insurance group 17 of 50. Your actual premium still depends on age, postcode, annual mileage and no-claims history.

Is the Peugeot 2008 reliable?

Our reliability score for the Peugeot 2008 is 74 out of 100 (good), derived from DVSA MOT records, with a first-time MOT pass rate of about 85% at the reference age.

What economy does the Peugeot 2008 get?

Expect roughly around 4 miles per kWh for a typical Peugeot 2008, based on official figures and our running-cost model. Real-world figures vary with driving style, load and conditions.

What are the common problems on the Peugeot 2008?

How many Peugeot 2008s are on UK roads?

About 204,587 Peugeot 2008s are currently taxed and on the road in the UK, from DfT vehicle-licensing data.

Is the Peugeot 2008 reliable?

The Peugeot 2008 scores 74/100 on Forecourt's MOT-based reliability measure, ahead of 45% of the cars we track. That is computed from 1,140,944 real DVSA MOT test results.

How much does a used Peugeot 2008 cost?

A 2023 Peugeot 2008 with around 23,325 miles is worth roughly £13,900 today (typical range £12,550–£15,250). Dealer forecourt prices sit higher and part-exchange offers lower; newer or lower-mileage examples cost more.

1.2 PureTech 100 mHEV

Safety rating

TEST YEAR2019

Rating expired (test protocol superseded)

The passenger compartment of the 2008 remained stable in the frontal offset test.

Independent crash-test data from Euro NCAP. Star ratings reflect the test protocol of the year shown — newer protocols are stricter, so a 5-star from 2024 represents a higher bar than a 5-star from 2014.

Safety recalls

Manufacturers occasionally issue safety recalls to fix a fault free of charge. You can check whether the Peugeot 2008, or your exact vehicle, has any outstanding recalls on the official DVSA service.

Check on GOV.UK

Opens the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency recall checker. Choose the make, model and year of manufacture — no registration needed.

Theft risk

A general indicator from UK 2025 theft data and this car’s characteristics — not a prediction for any one vehicle.

Whole-car theft

Higher

Desirable SUVs like this are relay-theft targets — keyless entry can be exploited from the driveway in under a minute.

Parts theft

Higher

Hybrid versions are a catalytic-converter target — a hybrid cat is rich in precious metals and can be cut out in about a minute.

Worth doing

Keep keys in a Faraday pouch and away from the front door to block relay attacks.
A catalytic-converter guard or forensic marking makes a hybrid far less appealing to cut.
A visible steering lock is a cheap, strong deterrent on a frequently-targeted car.

Clean-air zones

Whether driving a Peugeot 2008 into a UK clean-air zone will cost you anything. Rules use the same Euro standard across most zones — petrol from 2006 and diesel from 2015 onwards are exempt; pure electric is always exempt.

Charging zones for cars

City	Area	Daily charge	Likely outcome
London	All of Greater London (within the M25)	£12.50	Likely exempt Diesel from September 2015 meets Euro 6.

Company car tax

What HMRC's Benefit-in-Kind charge looks like if you ran this Peugeot 2008 as a company car, by tax year and income-tax band. Calculated from a CO₂ of 129 g/km, using £28,000 as the P11D value.

Tax year	BIK %	Tax @ 20%	Tax @ 40%	Monthly @ 20%	Monthly @ 40%
2025-26	30%	£1,680	£3,360	£140	£280

P11D value is approximated from the latest new price; the exact figure on your tax code will depend on options fitted. The 4% diesel surcharge applies only to non-RDE2 (pre-2021) diesels — we assume RDE2 compliance for current models. Bands and rates from HMRC's Autumn Budget 2024 confirmation through 2029/30.

Network size relative to the UK's largest (Peugeot is 3.7% of all franchised outlets)

Servicing, parts and warranty work are easy to find UK-wide, and most independent garages know the brand well — which keeps maintenance competitive.

For context, the UK has roughly 4,500 franchised car-dealer outlets in total, plus about 15,500 independent garages.

Common questions

Peugeot 2008, answered from the data

Is the Peugeot 2008 reliable?: The Peugeot 2008 scores 74/100 on Forecourt's MOT-based reliability measure, ahead of 45% of the cars we track. That is computed from 1,140,944 real DVSA MOT test results.
How much does a used Peugeot 2008 cost?: A 2023 Peugeot 2008 with around 23,325 miles is worth roughly £13,900 today (typical range £12,550–£15,250). Dealer forecourt prices sit higher and part-exchange offers lower; newer or lower-mileage examples cost more.
How quickly does the Peugeot 2008 depreciate?: A new Peugeot 2008 typically loses about 37% of its value over the first three years, then depreciates more slowly. Buying at three to five years old avoids the steepest part of the curve.
What insurance group is the Peugeot 2008?: The Peugeot 2008 sits in insurance group 17 of 50 — the middle of the scale. Exact premiums depend on the trim (some versions sit a few groups higher or lower), your age, postcode and no-claims history.
What goes wrong on a used Peugeot 2008?: The most common age-related issues we track for the Peugeot 2008 are: suspension (typically around over 100k miles, £150-£450 to put right); tyres & wheels (typically around over 100k miles, £80-£500 to put right); brakes (typically around over 100k miles, £150-£500 to put right). A full service history and a recent MOT with no advisories are the best protection.
What does the Peugeot 2008 cost to run?: Expect around 50 mpg combined, £195 a year in road tax, about £185 for a standard annual service. The full cost-of-ownership table above breaks this down per year and per mile for the exact year and mileage you choose.
