Peugeot Models

Peugeot’s UK mainstream range has moved from simple hatchbacks with rear-beam and electrical foibles to modern cars dominated by PureTech wet belts, AdBlue hardware, touchscreen faults and expensive emissions-related warning lights. Older cars can still be good value, but condition and maintenance history matter far more than badge or trim.

3008 (Mk3)

New panoramic i-Cockpit. Uses chain-driven MHEV engines.

2024 - 2025View Model

5008 (Mk3)

Large 7-seater with new panoramic interior.

2024 - 2025View Model

408

Sleek crossover with i-Connect software teething issues.

2022 - 2025View Model

308 (Mk3)

Latest 308 with new logo. Early cars have significant software bugs.

2021 - 2024View Model

2008 (Gen 2)

Large crossover with CMP platform and PSA engine risks.

2019 - 2024View Model

208 (Gen 2)

Bold design and i-Cockpit. Shares PureTech and AdBlue risks.

2019 - 2024View Model

508 (Gen 2)

Sleek executive car. Frameless windows and AdBlue are main issues.

2018 - 2024View Model

5008 (Gen 2)

7-seat SUV with common PSA engine and exhaust issues.

2017 - 2024View Model

3008 (Gen 2)

Highly successful SUV but has PureTech and AdBlue risks.

2016 - 2024View Model

Peugeot Expert (K0)

The mid-size van shared with Citroen (Dispatch) and Toyota (Proace). It's car-like and efficient, but plagued by AdBlue system failures and potential engine issues on the 1.5 BlueHDi.

2016 - 2024View Model

108

A lightweight city car shared with Toyota and Citroën. Cheap to run and insure, but clutches, front suspension and door locks wear quickly in town use.

2014 - 2022View Model

308 (T9)

Refined hatch with common PureTech and AdBlue vulnerabilities.

2013 - 2021View Model

2008 (Gen 1)

Practical crossover. 1.2 PureTech and AdBlue are the main concerns.

2013 - 2019View Model

208 (Gen 1)

A stylish supermini. Petrols are safer as simple 1.0/1.2 units (non-PureTech early on) or the 1.2 PureTech with strict belt care.

2012 - 2019View Model

508 (Gen 1)

Comfortable executive car. Later BlueHDi models have AdBlue risks.

2011 - 2018View Model

RCZ

Peugeot's sporty coupe with a distinctive "double bubble" roof. The THP petrol engines are the most popular choice but carry all the Prince-engine risks. Well-maintained THP 200s are rewarding to drive.

2010 - 2015View Model

3008 (Gen 1)

Original crossover. 1.6 THP is a major red flag.

2009 - 2016View Model

5008 (Gen 1)

The first-generation 5008 was Peugeot's practical 7-seat MPV. Simple and spacious, but the 1.6 THP is a major red flag and diesel models need careful DPF attention.

2009 - 2016View Model

308 (T7)

Roomy hatch/estate. 1.6 THP is the biggest reliability risk.

2007 - 2013View Model

207

A popular supermini that replaced the 206. Most mechanicals are sound, but the EPAS steering column and Prince-engine timing chains are serious concerns. Diesel models need careful DPF and EGR attention.

2006 - 2014View Model

307

A spacious family hatchback that was popular in the UK. Electrics and engine gaskets are the main weak points. Diesel models suffer the usual PSA DPF and EGR issues. Well-maintained examples can still be reliable.

2001 - 2008View Model

206

One of Peugeot's biggest sellers, the 206 is cheap, simple and still plentiful on UK roads. Most survivors are high-mileage or cheap first cars, so condition varies enormously. Mechanicals are straightforward but electrics and bodywork show their age.
