Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking an econom
When inspecting this vehicle, request the service history to ensure the 1.6L diesel engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. Given the low annual mileage, specifically ask about Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) health, as low-mileage diesel cars can be prone to blockage if not driven on motorways regularly.
Verify that the brake discs, which were noted as 'heavily lipped and scored' during the 2022 MOT failure, were fully replaced. You should also check for any recent invoices regarding the exhaust mounting and registration plate lamps, which appeared as defects in 2022 and 2024.
The 1560cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, offering competitive fuel economy for its class. Insurance costs typically fall into a mid-range group for small SUVs, and road tax will be based on the 2016 CO2 emissions bracket for this engine variant.
Typical maintenance for this model includes regular oil changes and tyre replacements. Based on the engine size and vehicle type, the estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,100-£1,400, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Pay close attention to the braking system; while the 2022 failure was resolved, checking the current condition of the discs and pads is advisable. Inspect the exhaust system's security, as defective mountings were noted in both 2022 and 2024 MOT records.
Additionally, examine the tyres for any signs of cracking or perishing, as this was a specific failure point in 2022. Finally, check the operation of all exterior lighting, including the registration plate lamps, and the headlamps, which are a common failure point across the wider Peugeot 2008 model range.
This white 2016 Peugeot 2008 diesel has recorded 53,858 miles as of November 2025, which is below the model's average annual mileage. Its MOT history shows a clean pass in its most recent test and a failure in 2022 related to brake discs, tyres, and exhaust mountings. The vehicle's data suggests a steady usage pattern with few recurring major faults.
The Peugeot 2008 has an average MOT pass rate of 80.4% across 98,334 analysed vehicles, with common failures involving headlamps and drive shaft joints.

- 1.2 PureTech "Wet Belt" DegradationSerious
The 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine (EB2/EB2DT/EB2DTS) uses a wet timing belt running submerged in engine oil. The belt degrades over time, shedding rubber particles that clog the oil-pump pickup strainer, causing low oil pressure, vacuum pump failure and loss of brake servo assistance. Fuel dilution from short UK urban journeys accelerates wear. Stellantis extended the warranty to 10 years/112,000 miles for affected engines built April 2014 to June 2022. A degraded belt can lead to terminal engine damage if not caught early.
- AdBlue tank failureSerious
On 1.6 BlueHDi diesel variants, the AdBlue (SCR) tank houses an integrated pump, filler-cap vent valve and dosing injector. Urea crystallisation, pump failure or a blocked vent can trigger an AdBlue or emissions warning and a countdown to engine no-start. The tank and pump are replaced as a sealed unit. Fault codes such as P20E8, P21C5 or P20EE may be stored. This is a high-risk issue on UK BlueHDi examples typically seen from around 60,000 miles.
- DPF Oil Contamination on Diesel ModelsModerate
First-generation diesel 2008s fitted with a DPF can suffer oil contamination if the DPF regeneration cycle is interrupted mid-way — for example by switching the engine off during a forced regen. Fuel leaks into the oil system, gradually raising the oil level and risking engine damage. This is especially relevant to UK cars used predominantly on short, low-speed urban trips where the DPF rarely reaches regeneration temperature. Regular motorway running and checking the oil level are essential preventative measures.
