The Peugeot 3008 I was built from 2009 to 2016.
For this generation we cover 4 engines and 19 known faults, each with the mileage range where it usually appears.
The most expensive known risk is Turbo failure (oil starvation, 16v): it usually appears at 80,000–200,000 km and costs €700–1,600 to fix.
In UK roadworthiness tests in 2024, at 100–150 thousand km this model most often failed on: lights, wipers and visibility (23.6 %), suspension (14.3 %), brakes (9.5 %). It fails more often than an average car of the same age and mileage on: brakes, suspension, steering, lights, wipers and visibility, body and corrosion. It fails less often than average on: exhaust, emissions and leaks.
