Verdict
Spacious urban SUV (405 L boot), but it shares the 208's engines and their serious faults: belt and oil consumption on the 1.2 PureTech, timing chain on the 1.5 BlueHDi. A complete service history and a check of the recalls are essential.

Known faults
Degraded “wet” timing belt (1.2 PureTech)
Severity 3/3 · SeriousOn the 1.2 PureTech, the timing belt runs in oil and can disintegrate. Its debris clogs the oil strainer, causing oil pressure to drop, which can destroy the engine. Stellantis extended the belt warranty to 10 years or 175,000 km, subject to servicing conditions, and introduced a new-generation belt in June 2022.

Oil consumption (1.2 PureTech)
Severity 2/3 · CostlyBesides belt wear, the 1.2 PureTech is known for high oil consumption, which can cause engine damage if the level is not monitored. According to Caradisiac, engines built from 2023 onwards are no longer affected.

Premature wear of the timing chain (1.5 BlueHDi)
Severity 2/3 · CostlyOn the 1.5 BlueHDi (DV5), the timing chain can stretch prematurely because of oil carbonisation; the first sign is a rattle on cold start. A break can damage the engine. Vehicles built between 6 December 2017 and 31 January 2023 are subject to a recall.

Manufacturer recalls

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution
- Maintenance: servicing prices only, without tyres or brakes: probably underestimated.
- Depreciation estimated at 12% of the median price a year, as no year-by-year valuation is usable.

PureTech 100 version: combined consumption of 5.6 L/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 2.14 €/L, for 1,000 km a month.
5.6 × 1.15 × 2.14 € × 10 = €138

Inspection checklist
Peugeot 2008 II — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Insist on service invoices: oil changes at the correct interval with the recommended oil, and belt checks (PureTech).
- Check the oil level when cold and ask whether topping up is needed between oil changes.
- Ask a Peugeot dealer, using the serial number, which recalls have been carried out and whether the car is eligible for warranty extensions.
- 1.5 BlueHDi diesel: listen to the cold start; a rattle can indicate a slack chain.
- Check the build date: a new-generation belt is fitted to PureTech engines built after June 2022.
Questions to ask the seller
- Do you have all the service invoices, with the oil references used?
- Has the timing belt (or the chain on the 1.5 diesel) been checked or replaced?
- Does the car use oil between oil changes?
- Have the manufacturer's recalls been carried out?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.

Before you buy: check and equip
Check the history
Before paying, check the administrative status (lien, objection, declared claims) and the mileage recorded at the roadworthiness test.
Read fault codes
An OBD scanner plugged in under the steering wheel shows stored fault codes, even with warning lights off: useful during the test drive.
Parts and maintenance
Compare prices of parts for the Peugeot 2008 II (timing, brakes, filters) to estimate the repairs to plan for.
Insure the car
Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Euro NCAP rating for the Peugeot 2008 II?
4 stars in 2019 in the base version, as there was no detection radar; 5 stars with the optional safety pack.
Which engine should I choose on a used 2008 II?
All the petrol and diesel engines have a documented serious fault. Prefer a recent car (belt revised in 2022, oil consumption corrected in 2023) with complete, invoiced servicing.
