Petrol against the other Peugeot 3008 versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Diesel | 72.2% | 90,375 |
| Petrol | 83.1% | 33,163 |
| All Peugeot 3008 | 75.1% | 124,439 |
Why the fuel type changes the number
Petrol cars avoid the DPF and emissions failures that catch diesels, and usually fail on the same consumables as any other car.
On the Peugeot 3008 specifically, petrol is the strongest at 83.1%, and this petrol version sits 8 points above the 75.1% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The petrol Peugeot 3008 is the stronger side of this model on MOT data. Still judge the individual car, but the fuel type is a mild point in its favour. Buying a damaged one? run it through the analyzer, check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average petrol Peugeot 3008 had covered 47,686 miles at test, against 76,568 for the diesel. That is below average for a car this age, worth a mileage-consistency check since an unusually low reading is sometimes clocking rather than luck.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Peugeot 3008 page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
