Brand-wide Peugeot Problem Patterns

1.2 PureTech "wet-belt" degradation (Recall R/2020/331) can block the oil pickup, leading to vacuum pump failure and loss of braking assistance.
BlueHDi AdBlue tanks and pump failures are very common, often requiring a complete (and expensive) tank replacement (£800–£1,500).
Infotainment and i-Cockpit software stability issues are frequent on newer models (308 Mk3, 408), often requiring firmware updates.
