About Peugeot 308
First released in 2007, the Peugeot 308 was a step up on the 307, and is one of the best all-round economic family cars on the market. Today it remains one of the most popular vehicles in the Peugeot range. Although a hotly competitive class, the 308 boasts good running costs and a manufacturer name which is consistently growing more reliable. With a spacious interior and quality finish, the 308 is a popular choice with families looking for a comfortable ride.
Why buy a used 308?
The introduction of the 308 in 2007 saw Peugeot look to revise their existing 307 model, making it more spacious, economical and safe. Achieving all three, there have been some who have criticised it for not being as much as a redesign as they would have liked, but it remains a strong contender in the small family car class.
Inside there have been many improvements on previous Peugeots, and there is a decided emphasis on quality finishings. The dashboard layout is similarly considered, favouring a mature and practical design, while the cabin holds a relatively good amount of space. While not market leading, passenger and luggage room is sufficient. If you're looking for something bigger however, the estate model (308 SW) is the car for you.
Having such a comfortable interior, the 308 excels on the road during long journeys, particularly on the motorway at high speeds. On smaller roads featuring more twists and turns, the 308 doesn't excel like some of its competitors, but the ride is nonetheless comfortable, if not thrilling. With a maximum score of five stars in the Euro NCAP crash test rating however, it is a very safe, responsible family car.
Engine options vary, and there is a choice of 97bhp 1.4 VTi, 118bhp 1.6 VTi, and 1.6 THP petrol models on offer, and 1.6 HDi and 1.6 e-HDi diesels. Both the 1.4 and 1.6 petrol models offer an adequate performance for their class, while the e-HDi version features the best running costs in the range. Coming with a stop/start system in place, this model offers an impressive 70mpg return, but unfortunately falls just the wrong side of 100g/km CO2 emissions meaning it is not road tax exempt.
The 308 is arguably one of the most refined and dynamic family cars that Peugeot has produced, but they do tend to depreciate fairly quickly. While this makes them relatively expensive to buy new, it does mean that they are an attractive used car option.
308 updates
The Peugeot 308 launched in 2007 and is one of the most refined and affordable family cars in the Peugeot range.
Here's a short look at the Peugeot 308's brief history, starting in 2007.
- The Peugeot 308 was first released in 2007 as a replacement for the 307. Critically the 308 was rated far better than the 307.
- A diesel-electric hybrid 308 was unveiled in 2007, which was followed by a 2+2 coupé that same year.
- The 308 Touring, an estate with a revised style, was launched in 2008, and the following year a cabriolet model was unveiled featuring a retractable hardtop.
- The 308 was given a facelift and in 2011 the new car was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show. The new model featured a new front end and modestly revised rear.
- A second generation 308 is expected to be released in late 2013, featuring the new Peugeot style.

What should I look for when buying a used 308?
Peugeots are going from strength to strength in terms of reliability. To make sure you find a 308 in good condition however, look out for some of these points and you should walk away with a bargain.
- Inspect the exterior of your 308 for any noticeable rust or corrosion. Any mismatched panels or colours could mean that there has been damage and repair work in the past.
- Some cooling systems in 308s have been known to fail by either not cooling the engine, or by not going into overdrive when necessary. Double check that it is working by keeping an eye on the temperature gauge, and checking to see if there are any puddles forming underneath the engine after driving.
- Once inside the car check that all electrics work (radio, air con, windows, etc), as there have been reported faults in some 308s.
- There have been several recalls on 308s over the past few years, so double check with dealers to make sure that any recall work has been done.
- Check the exhaust for any blue or black smoke being expelled when the engine is warm. If there is, this could mean that the turbo is blown, which would mean costly repair work.
- If during a test drive the anti pollution warning message comes up on the dashboard it could mean that the emission filter is faulty and will have to be replaced.
