Is the Peugeot 3008 reliable?

The Peugeot 3008 scores 76/100 on Forecourt's MOT-based reliability measure, ahead of 32% of the cars we track. That is computed from 1,576,377 real DVSA MOT test results.

How much does a used Peugeot 3008 cost?

A 2023 Peugeot 3008 with around 26,202 miles is worth roughly £16,600 today (typical range £15,000–£18,250). Dealer forecourt prices sit higher and part-exchange offers lower; newer or lower-mileage examples cost more.

How quickly does the Peugeot 3008 depreciate?

A new Peugeot 3008 typically loses about 52% 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 3008?

The Peugeot 3008 sits in insurance group 22 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 3008?

The most common age-related issues we track for the Peugeot 3008 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 3008 cost to run?

Expect around 53 mpg combined on the Mk3 1.2 Hybrid 136, £200 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.

Is the Peugeot 3008 ULEZ compliant?

Most petrol Peugeot 3008s 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.

How many Peugeot 3008s are on UK roads?

About 180,936 Peugeot 3008s are currently taxed and on the road in the UK, from DfT vehicle-licensing data.

Peugeot 3008

The Peugeot 3008 is a distinctive family SUV with a striking i-Cockpit interior (small wheel, high digital dials) that you'll either love or want to try first. It's comfortable and well-finished, offered as PureTech petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid. Cross-shop the Vauxhall Grandland and Citroen C5 Aircross (siblings), plus the Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage.

How these figures are sourced — the valuation is anchored to a researched used-market price for this model (AutoTrader median, 2023 at 30k miles). Reliability, mileage and variant data are real DVSA MOT records. Dimensions, tyre sizes and costs, servicing figures and the insurance group are segment-level estimates rather than sourced per car, and are being replaced model by model.

1.2 PureTech 145 mHEV (Mk3)

Bold styling and tech-heavy interior — divisive but distinctive. Single ICE engine UK option is the 1.2 mHEV. e-3008 (EV) sidesteps the wet-belt question. Pricey for what it is — Skoda Kodiaq/Karoq, VW Tiguan offer more for similar money.

New price: circa £37,000
Annual fuel / energy: £1,700

Watch for

·Too new for Mk3 patterns — but PureTech family has wet-belt history
·Stellantis OEM infotainment freezes (improving)
·Fastback styling reduces rear headroom vs Mk2

Mk2 diesel/PHEV (used)

Mk2 (2016-2024) on used market is the better-value 3008. Diesel for high-mileage, PHEV for tax-conscious. Watch the 1.2 wet-belt issue on PureTech variants. Mk2 PHEV had decent 39-mi WLTP electric range.

Safety rating

Euro NCAP's independent crash-test rating for the Peugeot 3008, from its 2025 assessment.

4/5

TEST YEAR2025

Current rating · valid to 2031

The passenger compartment of the Peugeot 3008 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. Euro NCAP ratings run for six years from publication; a lapsed rating means the protocol has moved on, not that the car performs any worse than it did on test.

Things owners say

01The 1.2 PureTech petrol uses a wet belt with a patchy reliability history - insist on up-to-date belt and oil service.
02The i-Cockpit's small steering wheel and high dials don't suit everyone - take a proper test drive to check your driving position.
03PHEV versions only pay off with regular charging; match the variant to your usage.

Safety recalls

Manufacturers occasionally issue safety recalls to fix a fault free of charge. You can check whether the Peugeot 3008, 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 3008 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.
Birmingham	Inside the A4540 Middleway	£8.00	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 3008 as a company car, by tax year and income-tax band. Calculated from a CO₂ of 144 g/km and a WLTP electric range of 45 miles, using £42,500 as the P11D value.

Tax year	BIK %	Tax @ 20%	Tax @ 40%	Monthly @ 20%	Monthly @ 40%
2025-26	33%	£2,805	£5,610	£234	£468

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.

Servicing & the dealer network

Large network

Mass-market

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.

Approximate figures, curated from public UK industry sources (NFDA, Car Dealer Magazine). Franchised networks shrink year on year — these indicate network size, not an exact count.

Common questions

Peugeot 3008, answered from the data

Is the Peugeot 3008 reliable?: The Peugeot 3008 scores 76/100 on Forecourt's MOT-based reliability measure, ahead of 32% of the cars we track. That is computed from 1,576,377 real DVSA MOT test results.
How much does a used Peugeot 3008 cost?: A 2023 Peugeot 3008 with around 26,202 miles is worth roughly £16,600 today (typical range £15,000–£18,250). Dealer forecourt prices sit higher and part-exchange offers lower; newer or lower-mileage examples cost more.
How quickly does the Peugeot 3008 depreciate?: A new Peugeot 3008 typically loses about 52% 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 3008?: The Peugeot 3008 sits in insurance group 22 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 3008?: The most common age-related issues we track for the Peugeot 3008 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 3008 cost to run?: Expect around 53 mpg combined on the Mk3 1.2 Hybrid 136, £200 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.
Is the Peugeot 3008 ULEZ compliant?: Most petrol Peugeot 3008s 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.
How many Peugeot 3008s are on UK roads?: About 180,936 Peugeot 3008s are currently taxed and on the road in the UK, from DfT vehicle-licensing data.
