The 2008 is Peugeot's small SUV. The first generation (2013–2019) was a crossover based on the 208, while the second generation, launched in 2019, grew into a proper small SUV and added the fully electric e-2008. A VIN check on a used 2008, 2008 GT, or e-2008 brings together the accident, ownership, mileage, and recall history that a clean-looking SUV won't reveal on its own.
What you can check
A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code that serves as your Peugeot 2008's fingerprint. Checking your VIN provides crucial information about:
Your 2008's VIN can be located in several places:

Decoding the VIN confirms the generation and whether a car is a petrol, diesel, or electric e-2008, which tells you which of the checks below matter most.

Is a 2008 with Grip Control four-wheel drive?
No. Every 2008 is front-wheel drive; Grip Control adjusts the traction control for surfaces such as mud, snow, and sand and is usually paired with all-season tyres.
What should I check on a used e-2008?
Besides the standard VIN check, ask for a battery health report, confirm that the charging cables are included, and check that the battery warranty — 8 years or 160,000 km for 70% of its capacity — still applies.
