Looking at a 3008?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular 3008 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the 3008 disappearing?

183,055 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the 3008 is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 31% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 6,016 are declared SORN — 1 in 31 of the 189,071 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

3008 MOT pass rate

In 2024, 68.9% of 114,938 Peugeot 3008 MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 85.5% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 42.2% aged 15–30 years.

  • Mechanical Brake Components — 4.2% of tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.
  • Transmission — 4% of tests. A fault with a driveshaft, gaiter or transmission component. Costs vary widely.
  • Tread Depth — 4% of tests. Tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit. Budget for tyres, and treat it as a sign of how the car was maintained.
  • Headlamp Aim — 3.8% of tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
