The 2016 Peugeot 3008 range of configurations is currently priced from $9,020.

Our most recent review of the 2016 Peugeot 3008 resulted in a score of 6 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Chris Riley had this to say at the time: It’s an award winner but the design is dated. The 3008 is quite a niche vehicle and as with many European cars the purchasing decision can be emotional rather than dictated by dollars. You can get more for less elsewhere.

Peugeot 3008 2016 FAQs

Is a 2016 Peugeit 3008 1.6 a solid buy in Australia as a second hand offering?

It’s probably fair to say this wasn’t a great time in Peugeot reliability or build quality. Overall, these Peugeots (like a lot of European designed and engineered cars over the years) didn’t like Australian heat cycles and could start to wear in places they wouldn’t have in Europe.

The biggest of this model’s problems was a propensity for the timing chain to wear prematurely, causing all sorts of internal engine problems and, in some cases, the need for a new engine to be fitted. To be fair, this problem seems to be concentrated on the earlier (pre-2011) versions of this car, but we’d still be very careful about checking the engine on a later one as well. The direct fuel-injection system also meant that the backs of the intake valves weren’t being cleaned by a squirt of fuel every time the engine fired, and this can lead to a build-up of carbon in the intake tract with poor running and a misfire the likely results.

The bottom line is that only a Peugeot 308 with low kilometres (as this one has) and an impeccable service history should be considered. Even then, there are possibly better, more reliable, alternatives.
