We only count the sourced sheets we have. An engine with fewer is not guaranteed to be more reliable: it may have been studied less or sold in smaller numbers.

Official recalls: ask before you pay

We have no official recalls on record for this model. Our list is not complete: ask anyway, with the chassis number.

  1. Ask the seller for the chassis number (VIN): it has 17 characters, appears in the car's documents and can usually also be seen at the base of the windscreen.
  2. Ask an official Peugeot dealer, or the brand's official website if it lets you check by chassis number, whether each recall has been done or is still outstanding for that VIN.
  3. Manufacturer recalls are normally carried out free of charge by the official service network. If one is outstanding, ask for it to be done before you close the sale.

On the test drive: what to look and listen for

0 of 4 checked

Automatic gearbox

  • Look out for: Hesitation or a jolt between 1st and 2nd, torque converter shudder in traffic, harsh or delayed shifts and a gearbox fault warning, especially on 2017–2019 3008s.

    Ask them to check: Check oil level and condition, update the gearbox software at the dealer and, after an oil change, record it with DiagBox and reset the adaptations.

Suspension and steering

  • Look out for: Noise and vibration through the steering wheel when braking; if the screw breaks, the wheel may stop responding to the steering.

    Ask them to check: Check the campaign by VIN at a Peugeot or Opel dealer; if you feel vibration when braking, do not wait for the appointment.

  • Look out for: It does not usually give symptoms before failing; the campaign inspection finds it.

    Ask them to check: Check by VIN at a Peugeot dealer whether your e-3008 was in the campaign.

Bodywork

  • Look out for: With the car switched on, one or all four doors cannot be opened from inside.

    Ask them to check: Check the campaign by VIN at the dealer; meanwhile, test the interior handles with the car switched on.
