3008buyer's guide
10 known faults — inspection procedures and real repair costs.
The Mk1 Peugeot 3008 is a compact crossover that sells well on price, but the diesel-heavy used market hides several patterns that separate a sound car from a costly one. Short-trip city use wrecks the emissions systems on these engines, and a neglected timing belt or chain service is an engine rebuild waiting to happen. Neither fault shows on a casual look-over — they need a cold start, an OBD scan, and someone who knows what to look for before money changes hands.
This guide covers ten documented issues: AdBlue/DPF/EGR emissions fault, timing belt/chain service risk, DSG/automatic/clutch judder, coolant leak or water pump fault, infotainment/software electrical faults, suspension knocks and tyre wear, brake corrosion or EPB fault, panoramic roof or boot water leak, turbo boost leak or actuator fault, and recall/campaign status. Each fault has a field check and a real repair-cost range.
A clean, documented Mk1 3008 with full service history is a practical and comfortable family car at a sensible price. The guide gives you the exact checks to confirm you are looking at one — and the leverage to walk away or negotiate if you are not. Twenty minutes of structured checks is all it takes.
