What should I look for in a used Peugeot 308?
When viewing a used car, always follow our used car buying checklist.
Seeing as the 308 is a family hatchback, it’s worth checking the seats for wear and tear and ease of operation. And the car may have been used in tight urban car parks, so it’s worth checking the bodywork for scuffs and bumps and the alloy wheels for any kerb damage.
Is a used Peugeot 308 reliable?
Our data suggests the 308 is a reliable car, but averagely so. The 308 scored a good reliability score in our 2022 What Car? Reliability Survey, with most major problems revolving around the non-engine electrics. On newer cars, these faults were usually fixed under warranty within a week. It finished in 11th position out of 37 cars in the family car class.
In our 2023 survey, Peugeot, as a car brand, finished a lacklustre 21st place out of 32 manufacturers in that same reliability survey.
