This 2021 Peugeot 3008 GT Premium PHEV is significantly more reliable than the average UK car—a 90% first-time pass rate beats the 80% national average by a clear margin. The dangerous defect rate of 10.7% is low enough not to be a concern, and these plug-in hybrids appear well-engineered for their age and mileage.

At just over 29,000 miles median, these cars are running well below what you'd expect for a three-year-old vehicle, suggesting careful ownership and minimal wear. You'll see roughly one minor advisory per car (mostly low-cost fixes), but the 0.27 average failures per vehicle is genuinely strong—if you're shopping for one, focus on full service history and check the hybrid battery's warranty status, as that's the one component that could surprise you down the line.

The 2021 Peugeot 3008 GT Premium S/s PHEV Auto passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (91.5% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

⚠️ About 1 in 12 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 91.5% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 1.7 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 671 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
