The 2011 Peugeot 3008 trails the UK average by nearly 3 percentage points with a 77.2% first-time pass rate, and this is compounded by a serious concern: over half of these vehicles (52.2%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point in their MOT history, making this a notably problematic cohort for safety-critical issues. Petrol and diesel variants perform almost identically, so fuel choice won't improve your odds here.
These cars are running at around 69,600 miles on average—reasonable for their age—but the real tell is in the failure pattern: 3.45 average failures per test coupled with a high 19.6 advisories suggests widespread minor wear and cumulative issues rather than one catastrophic problem. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection that specifically checks suspension geometry, braking components, and electrical systems, as these categories dominate the advisory list for this generation.
The 2011 Peugeot 3008 has a decent first-time pass rate (77.2%), but a higher-than-average share of vehicles have had serious defects recorded — the individual vehicle's history matters a lot here.
These stats describe 13,562 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.
