Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the very low annual mileage, check the service history to ensure oil changes were performed regardless of distance to prevent diesel particulate filter (DPF) issues. Verify that the tyres are in good condition, as a perishing tyre was noted in the 2024 MOT, which often happens with cars that sit for long periods.
Confirm that all electrical components and headlamps are functioning, as these are common failure points for this model. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres if they have not been replaced since the 2024 advisory.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, offering competitive MPG for motorway and urban driving. Tax and insurance will be typical for a mid-sized family SUV of this era, though diesel charges may apply depending on the specific emissions band.
Typical maintenance costs for this model are moderate, though owners should budget for periodic diesel-specific upkeep. The estimated annual running cost is based on average UK fuel prices and standard insurance groups for this vehicle class.
Inspect the tyres for signs of perishing or cracking, mirroring the advisory found in the March 2024 test. While this specific vehicle hasn't failed for these items, check the anti-roll bar and headlamps, as aggregate data identifies these as frequent failure points for the 3008.
Ensure the brakes are free from surface corrosion and that the engine starts cleanly without excessive smoke, which can be a sign of DPF issues in low-mileage diesel vehicles.
This grey 2016 Peugeot 3008 has covered just 35,015 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. Its MOT history shows five consecutive passes with only one minor tyre advisory recorded in 2024. This represents a low-usage example of the 1.6L diesel variant.
The 3008 has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 79.9%, with tyres and suspension components being the most common areas of concern.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- 1.6 THP timing-chain and carbon issuesSerious
High risk of chain stretch and intake carbon build-up.
- Electric Power Steering (EPAS) FailureSerious
The electrically-assisted steering column can develop intermittent faults or fail completely, causing heavy steering. This is a well-known PSA Group issue across multiple models of this era.
- DPF Clogging on HDi DieselsModerate
The 1.6 and 2.0 HDi engines are prone to DPF blockage, particularly if used predominantly for short urban journeys. A blocked filter triggers limp mode and can cascade into turbo and injector damage.
