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.
The 2015 Peugeot 3008 has a decent first-time pass rate (81.4%), 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 8,459 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.

Brake pipes, sills and subframes are the key areas on a vehicle this age — structural rust is hard to spot without getting underneath. A mechanic will check all of this before you commit, and give you a concrete basis to negotiate on price.
