1
Timing Chain (1.2 PureTech)
High Priority

High Priority
Short-journey diesel 2008s develop DPF blockages very frequently. The DPF warning and limp mode are the symptoms.

3
EAT6 Gearbox Judder

Peugeot 2008 — MOT Tips

PureTech timing chain check before MOT. DPF warning light is a fail on diesel models. AdBlue must be sufficient on MK2 diesel models. Rear suspension clunk should be investigated as bush wear can become a MOT advisory.

Engine management light on before your MOT? It's an automatic fail. Run a MotorLoom diagnostic for £1.99 to get the likely cause and repair cost before booking the test.

Peugeot 2008 Tyres

Most Peugeot 2008 models run 205/60 R16 or 215/55 R17 or 215/50 R18 depending on trim level and year. Always check the placard inside the driver's door for the exact size for your vehicle.

Summary

The 2008 is a practical and stylish crossover. The 1.2 PureTech timing chain issue is the most important fault to check. e-2008 examples are generally reliable but battery health should be verified on older examples.
