Used Peugeot cars for sale

Modern Peugeots are generally dependable when serviced on time. The current generation, built since the brand joined Stellantis (alongside Vauxhall, Citroen and DS), uses well-proven petrol, diesel and hybrid running gear shared across the group. Most owner surveys place Peugeot mid-table, with the cabin tech and small steering wheel of the i-Cockpit dashboard being the most divisive feature rather than any mechanical weakness.

Peugeots are reasonably affordable to run. Servicing, parts and consumables sit roughly in line with Ford and Vauxhall, and cheaper than most German rivals. Sharing parts across the wider Stellantis family (Vauxhall, Citroen, DS) keeps prices competitive. Diesel models need fresh oil and AdBlue on schedule, hybrids need their cooling system kept healthy, and the cambelt interval should always be checked before purchase.

It depends what you need. For families, the 3008 mid-size SUV is the all-rounder, with a smart cabin and hybrid options from 2020 onwards. The 2008 is the sweet spot for buyers who want SUV styling in a smaller footprint. For city driving and low running costs, the 208 supermini is hard to beat. All three share Peugeot's distinctive i-Cockpit, which is worth trying before you commit.

Peugeots depreciate at a steady, average rate. SUVs like the 3008 and 2008 hold their money best thanks to strong demand for family-friendly shapes, while the 208 supermini stays in demand because of its low running costs and bold looks. Higher trims such as GT and Allure Premium tend to retain value better than entry-level cars, and the second-generation models from 2019 onwards are particularly sought after.

Start with a full service history and the cambelt record on petrol and diesel cars. Check the touchscreen and digital dials boot up cleanly, since the i-Cockpit relies on screens for almost everything. Try the driving position carefully because the small steering wheel suits some drivers and not others. On diesels, look for AdBlue top-ups; on hybrids, ask for a battery health check and listen for cooling fans.
