Peugeot 3008 (2015)
2015 Peugeot 3008
CarHunch analysed 8,459 real MOT records for the 2015 Peugeot 3008. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2015 Peugeot 3008 passes its MOT at 81.2%, just above the UK average of 80%, making it a reliably compliant used buy—though 43.4% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is notably high and worth investigating on any example you're considering. Diesel and petrol variants perform almost identically (81.1% and 82.5% pass rates respectively), so fuel type isn't a reliability differentiator here.
At a median of 49,917 miles for a nine-year-old car, these 3008s are running below typical mileage expectations, suggesting they've been relatively well-treated. The average 1.98 failures per vehicle is moderate, but advisories average 10.9, indicating that while they usually pass, minor wear items and consumables need regular attention. Before committing to a purchase, get a pre-buy inspection focused on suspension and braking components, which typically dominate the advisory list on this generation.
What to check before buying a 2015 Peugeot 3008
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 43.4% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
