What to check before buying a 2019 3008 Puretech S/S
Before buying a 2019 Peugeot 3008 Puretech S/S, focus on the areas it most often fails on. Tyres accounted for 4.7% of tests for this year.

- Brakes (3.0% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
- Lighting & signalling (2.9% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
