About this model
The Peugeot 3008 is a compact crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Peugeot. It was first presented to the public in Dubrovnik, Croatia in 2008, and then again in 2010 at the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris, by the French manufacturer Peugeot. It fills a gap in Peugeot's model lineup between the Peugeot 308, with which it shares its platform, and the Peugeot 5008, its larger counterpart. The second-generation model, which is based on an EMP2 platform first seen on the second-generation Peugeot 308, was released in May 2016, with the vehicle being available as of January 2017. The third-generation model waa released in September 2023, based on the Stellantis' SLTA Medium platform, which it is shares with a wide range of Stellantis vehicles.

What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2013 1.6 diesel. 3,319 of 12,937 tests failed, 26%.
Better than 14% of 2013 cars. The typical one fails 19%, across 828 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Lights and electrics | 47% | 1,555 |
| Suspension | 43% | 1,415 |
| Brakes | 30% | 980 |
| Tyres and wheels | 25% | 819 |
| Body and structure | 14% | 465 |
| Visibility | 11% | 378 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A spring or spring component fractured or seriously weakened
- A lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
- Stop lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
- A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn
- Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements
- A transmission shaft constant velocity joint boot missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc
Where it stands out against its peers
- Lights and electrics: failed more often than 92% of 2013 cars — 47% of its 3,319 failed tests, where an ordinary 2013 car has 28%.
Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.
NHTSA's investigations are American; no European regulator publishes an equivalent record, so this section has nothing to draw on for a European car. There is no European equivalent of the service-bulletin register either.
